This temple is situated at Kammasandra near Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka. You can reach here by taking the old Madras road from Bangalore. Take diversion just before Kolar town through BEML area. The distance is around 115Kms. You can also reach there by train to Bangarapet station and then by taxi/bus.

This is a unique temple where you see Shivlings everywhere you turn. There is a huge 108ft high Shivling (suppose to be the biggest in the world) and a 40ft high Nandi within the temple.

Free meals are provided to the pilgrims everyday in the noon. More details can be found at http://kotilinga.org/index.htm
