Namaskaram to All,

Please find below the link to the pictures of Sri. Vasantha Vallabharaya Swamy
perumal of Vasanthapura. Vasanthapura is an ancient place dating back to the
period of Sri. Mandavya Rishi, who according to the Sthala Puranam, consecrated
the deity in a temple on a hillock which is situated in the Southern Tip of
Bangalore City.

The Mulavar is very beautiful and it is really enchanting to see the
Abhishekam(Tirumanjanam) of the Lord, in the midst of the Vedic Hymns recited
by the srivaishnava archakas of the temple. Mahalakshmi resides in this place as
Vasantha Nayaki, adjacent to the main deity.

Really this temple is worth a visit which is one of the ancient Vaishnavite
temples of Karnataka with serene surroundings and very near to Bangalore City.
You can also visit a beautiful crystal clear lake in the north-eastern direction
of this temple where a new temple to Lord Venkateshwara is built in the middle
of the lake.
