Kashi Vishweshwar Temple, Kadugodi, Bangalore

Kashi Vishweshwara temple is a Hindu temple in Kadugodi, Bangalore, dedicated to the Lord Shiva. Dates back to the Chola King Rajendra Chola's Period.[1] The name "Kadugodi" came as this temple was built in center of the forest so the name Kadu-forest and Gudi-temple in Kannada.

Its Vaastu & Architecture have a strong resemblance to the Ganga dynasty , which preceded the Cholas. Inscriptions on the basement of the temple also refer to the deity as Rajadhi Raja Bhangisvaram. The original Shiva Linga mentioned in these inscriptions was stolen and replaced by a new one brought from Varanasi. http://m.economictimes.com/magazines/panache/roots-up-south-kadugodi-got-its-name-from-temple-cholas-helped-build/articleshow/51822043.cms
