About Adiyogi Chikkaballapur
A 34 m steel bust of Shiva as Adiyogi, unveiled in 2023 by the Isha Foundation at its Sadhguru Sannidhi centre near Chikkaballapur, a twin of the one at Coimbatore. A laser and sound show is projected onto the statue every evening after dark, and the grounds have a Naga temple and meditation spaces. It is 10 km from Nandi Hills, so many combine the two. Entry is free and the evening show is the main draw.
What to see and do
- Adiyogi statue
