Contrary to some reviews, the darshan was peaceful and hassle--free. We entered through the main entrance on a narrow lane and had a glimpse of the lord's idol in fifteen minutes. I learnt that Sundays and holidays are crowded here. Better to go on week days. The atmosphere is pious and calm. Dress code for men is in place.

First of all, This church is the one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Bangalore (OUR LADY OF GOOD HEALTH). However, while spending a few time in the basilica always bring awesome experience. St. Mary's basilica bring more spiritual experience because of the ambiance. Besides that people have an opportunity for confession in every Saturdays from 4:00 Pm onwards in certain languages such as Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and English. Moreover, Mass timing details are prescribed in the church official website.

Infant Jesus Shrine, Bangalore, India
Reviewed By CedricN276 - Mumbai, India
Had visited this Roman Catholic Church in Bengaluru a long back ago. This church is located in Vivek Nagar area. This church is dedicated to Infant Jesus. It was built in 1971 to commemorate the historic Infant Jesus of Prague. This church is known as Infant Jesus Shrine. It houses a statue of Infant Jesus as well as a museum. Its interior has small glass window panes. Its exterior facade has a small dome and almost resembles the facade of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Devotees visit this shrine to seek blessings as well as to get their prayers answered. Adjacent to the old church is the present church building built in 2005. This church is fan shaped and is spacious inside having wooden pews, stained glass window panes and a huge mural depicting the nativity scene of Jesus in Bethlehem. Many devotees attend the English, Tamil & Kannada services here. The annual feast of Infant Jesus is celebrated on January 14 attracting thousands of devotees. It is well illuminated during the night. However, a code of conduct should be maintained. Avoid wearing sleeveless outfits. Had attended an English mass service and admired the facade of the old church as a school going teenager. This church is an ideal place of worship for local devotees as well as people from different faiths. It is a must visit and should not be missed when in Bengaluru.

Visit with family on day outing was wonderful. Serene environment and ambiance of the place took us on a cultural experience of our Heritage. The stories of Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata have been brought into limelight on sculptors and paintings. It appeals to all age groups who are interested in our rich cultural values. The sound and light show of Dhashavatara was excellent. It has been explained in simple way and the wooden carvings are so intricately detailed. The vast collection of artifacts and painting is worth seeing. The indoor play area for children is nicely made and the meditation hall at the top is worth the time spent . It was wonderful, learning and spiritual experience. I would like to thank Padmanabha , manager of the Kuteera who took us on the tour of the premises. He took great care of us to explain each of the sculptors and paintings also ensure that we had excellent food and snacks. I thank the family members of the Kuteera who have taken great interest to carry on the passion to preserve the rich heritage of our country. The premises is well maintained and great deal of work and passion for preserving the history to future generation has been done. Overall, Great experience and satisfaction for having visited the place. Hope more people who are interested in Heritage of our country make a visit to this place.

The temple is located in the heart of the city. Parking may be an issue but you can park your vehicle at the roadside. The goddess is one of the forms of Shakti.

With the opening of The Collection, UB City in Bangalore, a shopping trip to Europe, which is something that most Indian luxuriates were required to do to prime up their lifestyle, has become irrelevant. The luxury retail market in India, has suddenly taken a radical turn for the better. The city's most famous landmark, UB City - built jointly by Dr. Vijay Mallya & the Prestige Group has seized the opulence of the Indian market in a significant way.
