Bangalore was a part of the Ganga Dynasty and was known as Benga-val-oru, the city of guards. Influenced by the reign of the Cholas, Hoysalas and the Wodeyars, ancient Bangalore developed into a city with temples and historical monuments. Typical of the Hoysala architecture and intricate carvings, Tempes in Bangalore too are famous tourist spots.

Kemoe Gowda in the 16th Century built the Gavi Gangadhareshvara temple inside a natural cave in Gavipuram. The temple has giant granite pillars, two of which support huge discs representing sun and moon while on the other two pillars is a Nandi, the statue of the bull. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and houses a rare idol of Agni, the God of Fire. Makar Sankranti is a special day when devotees flock to the temple to watch sunlight fall on the Shiva Linga inside the cave when it passes in between the horns of the bull, Nandi outside the temple.
