Muttampatti Sri Veera Anjaneya Swamy temple is
famous temple in Dharmapuri District of Tamil Nadu ,India. In this blog I have written
my own experience about the travel to temple from Bangalore.
Myself and one of my friend started from Bangalore around
9.00 AM from Silk board junction on Hosur road.
First, we thought of going by “Bangalore Nagore Fast
Passenger (UnReserved)/56514 train” which will start from Bangalore City around
7AM. But we couldn’t make it. So thought of going by road.
So, cached bus to Hosur at 9AM. It took around 1hr from Silk
board junction to reach Hosur bus stand. Then took Dharmapuri bus from there.
It took around 3hrs , we reached Dharmapuri at 1PM.
From Dharmapuri there is one bus which flew to Muttampatti.
It started at 2:15PM and reached temple by 2:45PM. Bus road was very narrow
from the moment it takes diversion from AH 43/NH7 road.
Temple is located in very pleasant atmosphere, all you can
hear is temple’s bell and birds sounds. By the time we went, temple is almost
free, that is because most of devotees will visit the temple before
lunch time and to catch the “Bangalore Nagore Fast Passenger (UnReserved)” train to come back (It
will come to Muttampatti station around 3PM).
We finished pooja and waited for bus to come back to
Dharmapuri. We got bus at 4:15PM and came to Dharmapuri at 5PM. Then got direct
bus to Bangalore from there.
Legend:
By Bus: Bangalore –
Dharmapuri (if you get direct bus, its ok. Otherwise go to Hosur and will get
lot of buses to Dharmapuri). Don’t plan to go to Salem and comeback to
Dharmapuri, you will waste almost 2-3hrs in travelling.

By Train: Best option, you
can catch this train from Bangalore City around 7AM. It reaches “Muttampatti”
station at 11 AM. And you can catch same train around 3PM. But note that during
this time temple will be busy (waiting time for pooja will be around 1-2hrs).
Train Details:
By Car: You can take NH 7 from Bangalore to Dharmapuri.

Bus Fares:
Going by Tamil Nadu buses will save you lot of money. You
won’t believe we reached Dharmapuri with 62+75 (Couple - one way) from Silk
board junction, Bangalore and while coming back 206 (Couple - direct bus).
From Dharmapuri to Muttampatti temple it’s Rs:10.
whereas from silk board to my home I spent 65+40 (two way)
within city.
