6. Raghavendra Swamy Matha & other mathas / small mutts

Quick visiting tips

• Morning (6:00–9:30) and evening (6:00–8:30) are generally the best times for darshan at smaller temples — check local notice boards or Google / listing pages for exact pooja times. 
• Many temples in the neighbourhood are small and have limited parking — use two-wheelers or walk if you are inside the Anjanapura layout.
• Festival days (Hanuman Jayanti, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navaratri) bring large crowds — plan accordingly.
