Named after the Kadu Malleshwara Temple in the old Mallapura village, Malleshwaram is in the northwest of Bangalore. This is one of the oldest areas in Bangalore and most of the residents are descended from original inhabitants of the city. Malleshwaram is home to a large orthodox Hindu population. Electorally, Malleswaram is largely regarded as a center for Brahmins, a community which forms a sizeable and influential majority.
It is full of Hindu temples and is also a hotspot of educational activity with numerous schools and colleges. One of the city’s largest and more modern malls is located in this part of town – it boasts the country’s only Taco Bell. The Chowdiah Memorial Hall, named after the violin maestro Tirumakudalu Chowdiah, is one of the most prominent landmarks of Malleshwaram. It is designed in the shape of a violin and is a hub of arts and culture.
Psalm 115: 1-8 (NLT)
“Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. Why let the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’ Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes. Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. They have ears but cannot hear,
and noses but cannot smell. They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.”
Please ask God to make Himself known to those living in Malleshwaram.
