So, the temple is located in Jayanagar 9th Block, right in the heart of South Bangalore. It’s dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and the story goes that this hill was formed from a heap of ragi (finger millet) that turned sacred — hence the name Ragigudda.
The main idol of Hanuman sits majestically on top of the hill, and below you’ll find shrines for Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and also Shiva, Parvati, and Ganesha. What I really loved is how clean and well-maintained the temple is, and the volunteers are genuinely helpful and kind.

Here are the temple timings I noted during my visit:
-
Morning: 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM
-
Evening: 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM
They close the doors between 11:30 AM and 5 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. I personally loved the evening aarti — the glow of the lamps and the bhajans playing made it really special.

💫 Best Time to Visit Ragigudda Temple
If you’re like me and prefer peaceful darshan without too much crowd, then:
-
Weekdays, especially mornings are calm and perfect
-
Evenings (around 6 PM) feel more devotional with the aarti going on and the lamps being lit — it’s just beautiful
I’d suggest avoiding Sunday evenings if you’re not a fan of crowds.
🧣 Dress Code & Rules
While there’s no official dress code, most people wear traditional Indian attire — sarees, salwar suits, dhotis, or simple kurtas. It’s more about showing respect than any strict rule.
A few quick tips:
-
Don’t wear shorts or revealing clothes
-
No leather belts or bags inside
-
Phones are allowed, but no photography near the deities
-
Remove your footwear at the base before climbing up
-
Be ready to climb around 60–70 steps — it’s not too tough, but good to know!
