Hotel Mayura Pavithra, Yediyur
2km from Sri Yediyuru Siddhalingeshwara Swamy Temple — distinctive dome cottages, wooden AC cottages, a vast green campus with ancient trees on the Bangalore-Mangalore highway, 80km from Bangalore.
About Hotel Mayura Pavithra
Hotel Mayura Pavithra at Yediyur is one of the more distinctive KSTDC Mayura properties — a vast green campus with ancient trees set beside NH75 (Bangalore-Mangalore National Highway), 80km from Bangalore near Kunigal. The property has dome (igloo-style) cottages and wooden AC cottages alongside standard AC rooms — an accommodation variety unusual for a budget KSTDC property. The 2km proximity to Sri Yediyuru Siddhalingeshwara Swamy Temple makes it the natural stay for pilgrims visiting this major Lingayat shrine.
The campus is spacious and green with some very old trees — guests consistently describe it as surprisingly serene despite the highway adjacency. A restaurant, children's play area and ample parking make it well-suited for families and road-trippers. The hotel is also specifically praised as the best overnight stopover on the Bangalore-Chikkamagalur, Bangalore-Coorg and Bangalore-Mangaluru highway routes.
Note: unmarried couples are not permitted — standard KSTDC policy at this property. Some reviews mention bathroom maintenance issues — check the room on arrival and request a change if needed.
Sri Yediyuru Siddhalingeshwara Swamy Temple
Sri Yediyuru Siddhalingeshwara Swamy Temple is one of the most significant Veerashaiva (Lingayat) pilgrimage centres in Karnataka — a temple and the brindavana (tomb) of Siddalinga Shivayogi, a revered Lingayat saint of the 15th century who is believed to have attained samadhi (spiritual absorption) here.
The Saint and the Temple
Siddalinga Shivayogi was a poet-saint of the Veerashaiva tradition — his devotional poetry in Kannada remains part of Lingayat religious practice today. The temple complex at Yediyur includes the original brindavana shrine, multiple mandapas and a large tank. The annual Jatra (fair) draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.
Highway Position — Best Stopover on NH75
Hotel Mayura Pavithra is on NH75 — the National Highway connecting Bangalore to Mangaluru via Tumkur, Hassan and Saklespur. This makes it an ideal overnight break for road trips heading to Chikkamagalur (150km beyond Kunigal), Coorg (200km), Hassan (100km), Belur-Halebid (130km) or Mangaluru (300km). Reviews specifically call it the best stopover on this route.

Padaki's booking tips
- Book dome cottages for the most distinctive stay — specify preference when booking and we will note it. Wooden AC cottages are the next best option.
- Visit Sri Yediyuru Siddhalingeshwara Swamy Temple early morning (6:00 AM opening) — the darshan is peaceful before the day crowds arrive. The hotel staff can arrange a local auto.
- Check the room on arrival — if bathroom fittings are not functioning, ask for a room change. Staff are cooperative about this.
- Note: unmarried couples are not permitted — KSTDC policy at this property.
- The highway location means some traffic noise — request rooms deeper in the campus away from the road for a quieter night.
- Best used as a stopover on Bangalore-Chikkamagalur, Bangalore-Coorg or Bangalore-Mangaluru drives. Book for one night, visit the temple and continue refreshed.
