Sri Gavi Gangadhareswara Temple: On January 14th every year. Something extraordinary happens in Bangalore's Gavi Gangadhareswara Temple. On that day a ray of sunlight passes through an arch between the horns of stone bull that stands outside the temple and lights up the idol inside. It is a phenomenon that is proof of the technical excellence of ancient architects, of their knowledge of astronomy combined with great architectural skill. The temple itself is dedicated to Shiva and is a natural cave caved out of a monolithic stone.
