Shivoham Shiva Temple

Shivoham Shiva Temple is a prominent Hindu temple on Old Airport Road in Murugeshpalya, Bengaluru, Karnataka. Centred around a 65-foot tall statue of Lord Shiva in meditative posture, it was established in 1995 and formerly known as Kemp Fort Shiva Temple. The complex includes a 32-foot Ganesha statue, an artificial cave shrine replicating Amarnath with 12 Jyotirlingas, and landscaped grounds. It is known for its illuminated night view and accessible urban location.

Visitors can expect a large open temple courtyard dominated by the 65-foot Shiva statue seated in lotus position with Himalayan backdrop and water feature. The complex includes an artificial cave leading to a Shiva lingam, replicas of the 12 Jyotirlingas, a 32-foot Ganesha statue, and landscaped pathways with devotional music and lighting. Areas to explore include the main darshan area, cave shrine, Ganesha enclosure, and souvenir and prasad shops in an urban setting.

Constructed in 1995 by entrepreneur R. V. Shetty and inaugurated on 26 February 1995. Originally known as Kemp Fort Shiva Temple after the nearby Kemp Fort store, it was later renamed Shivoham Shiva Temple. The 65-foot Shiva statue was sculpted by artist Kashinath and became a landmark on Old Airport Road.

Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple recreates the pilgrimage experience of the Amarnath cave with a lingam and 12 Jyotirlinga replicas for urban devotees. It is a centre for daily aartis, Monday prayers and Maha Shivratri celebrations, serving both religious and cultural functions for residents and visitors in Bengaluru.
