Surya Narayana Temple at Domlur, Bangalore is
one among the very few Sun God Temples. The Temple was constructed by Shri
Patel D. R Krishna Reddy in the year 1995, and was inaugurated by his Holiness
Shree Shree Shree Shiva Kumar Swamyji of SidhaGanga Mutt, Tumkur.
The temple is beautifully built by skilled
and crafty artisan in Chola style in rock granite. The temple attracts a large
number of devotees every day and on festivals. The annual fair is held on
Rathasaptami day. The 32 feet chariot is brought out only on that day, when the
people pull the chariot with an abandoned dedication of holiness, as well as
happiness of being near God.
The idol of Surya Narayana was bought from Badrinath and is about 3.25 feet in height along with the Prabhavalli. Underneath the deity, the idols of Kashyapa and Aditi can be seen. An udhbhava huttha exists at precincts, which was formed after the platform was constructed.
