Dodd of Ganesan (basavanna) goody, or as it is more commonly referred to as the Bull Temple, located in the southern part of the famous Indian city of Bangalore, located in Karnataka. Around the temple stretches a magnificent Park called Bag Rock.

Bull in Hindu religion is revered as a demi-God, known as Nandi, who is a great admirer of Shiva, and constantly accompanies him. It is believed that the Dodd Ganesan goody is the world's largest temple, dedicated to Nandi. And the biggest attraction and value of this temple is a huge statue of a bull, and what is most remarkable, it is constantly coated with oil, or as it is called here, "Benn", as well as oil, mixed with charcoal, from which the statue is completely blackened. Nandi is considered to be mahanoy Shiva - kind vessel, membrane, containing in itself the essence of deity. In Sanskrit "Nandi" means "joyful". Nearby there is the famous statue depicting the son of God Shiva Ganesha, elephant-headed.

The temple of the Dodd Ganesan goody was built in 1537 one of the local rulers Kempe by Howdoi, which, according to historians, was the founder of Bangalore. The architectural style of the temple is typical of the times of the Empire of Vijayanagara. Its dimensions are quite small for such a significant religious buildings. The monument itself Nadi is located on a small pedestal in the center of the building. Opposite the statue is the entrance and a small neat porch, also built in the Vijayanagara style. Vimana or tower, which covers the main attraction of the temple, was established much later in the early twentieth century, and is decorated with exquisite figures and ornaments.
