Nandi Theertha Mandir, Malleshwaram, Bengaluru. There is a mystery behind discovery of this 7000 year old Temple.
Sri Dakshina Mukha Nandi Theertha Kalyani Kshetra also known as Nandi Theertha. This mandir is located opp. Gangamma Temple & diagonally opp. Kadu Malleshwara Temple

In 1997, construction began on an empty land diagonally opp. to Kadu Malleshwara Temple, during evacuation of a mound for construction the workers discovered the spire of a Mandir. They dug deeper & found there was a large Mandir. ASI team then completed the excavation & found a

perfectly preserved central pool of water surrounded by granite steps & pillared mantapas. The Mandir houses a Shivling continuously abhishekam with water dripping from the mouth of a Nandi moorthy. When ASI cleaned the mouth of Nandi, they found a small stream of water started

pouring out continuously. And when the land was cleared at the bottom, they discovered the water abhishekam done for Shivalinga. & joined the pond in the middle of the Mandir complex. Source of the continuous stream of water from Nandi statue mouth is unknown.
