The '''Hulimave cave temple''',<ref>{{cite news | url=http://archive.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/july03/metro10.asp | title=Hulimavu Cave Temple | access-date=26 December 2015}}</ref> also known as the '''Hulimavu Shiva Cave Temple''' or simply the '''Cave Temple''', is located in [[Hulimavu]], [[Bannerghatta Road]], [[Karnataka]], very close to the [[BGS National Public School, Hulimavu, Bangalore|BGS National Public School]]. The Cave Temple is administered by the Sri Sri Bala Gangadaraswami [[Mutt (hinduism)|Mutt]]. It is stated that a saint Sri Ramanand Swamiji did [[Meditation|tapas]] in the cave for many years and his [[samadhi]] is also found inside.

There are three main deities consecrated inside. A [[Shiva]] [[Lingam]] occupies the center, on one side there is a [[Devi]] idol and on the other side, an idol of [[Ganesha]] has been consecrated. On the other side of the cave, a very old [[Dhyana in Hinduism|dhyana]] mantap is also found. The [[cave]] has been declared as a 2000 year old single rock cave.<ref name="Archaeological Survey of India">{{cite news | url=http://archive.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/july03/metro10.asp | title=Archaeological Survey of India | access-date=26 December 2015}}</ref> The temple is placed within the natural cave inside the rocks. The detailed history of the temple is however not available, but it was stated that the temple is as old as 4–5 hundred years, founded by Sri Sri Balagangadaraswami.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}

Visitors are encouraged to learn about and go around to each of the deities inside the cave. The samadhi with the photo of the saint is also there. For unknown reasons such temples have not gained publicity even though those who know the temple visit it very often.
