Group pickup
The mini bus picks up the group at six from one meeting point. If anyone wants a proper Mysore breakfast before leaving, idli sambar, bisi bele bath, kara bath and kesari bath are what the city eats in the morning, but the plan is to eat at Maddur. Load water cans and puja baskets in the rear. Goravanahalli is about 180 km, four hours for a mini bus with halts, so the six o'clock start matters.

Optional tea
Mandya, about 45 km out, is an optional tea stop. With twenty people a quick halt at the exit is easy for the mini bus. Jaggery from the small alemanes is the thing to buy here; no district in the state has more of these units. The town is the district headquarters, and cane fields run right up to its edge. Breakfast is planned at Maddur, about 20 km on, so most groups only stretch their legs.

Breakfast
Maddur is the breakfast stop for the group. The eateries by the exit are used to buses, and a tender coconut each is a good start, as the town sends tender coconut to other states. For the devout, a short way into town stands an old Narasimha shrine from Hoysala days, its fierce Ugra Narasimha image carved in black stone about 7 ft high. Keep thirty minutes and count heads. The mini bus then turns north on State Highway 33.

Tea halt
Kunigal, about 50 km north of Maddur, is the tea halt. On a wooded hill some 5 km from town is the Bettada Ranganathaswamy temple, inside a forest of about 1,400 hectares that you can see from the road. Fifteen minutes is enough for tea and restrooms, with the mini bus parked off the main road so the group gets down safely. Then about 35 km more on the same highway to Tumakuru.

Fuel and restrooms
Tumkur (Tumakuru) is a busy industrial city now, picked as a Smart City, so traffic near the highway junctions is heavy and the driver chooses a pump with room for the mini bus. Twenty minutes covers diesel, water and restrooms. Buy fruit and snacks here, because Goravanahalli is a small village with only simple meals. From the city the district road runs north towards Koratagere for the last half hour.

Group arrival
About four hours after leaving Mysore the mini bus reaches the temple, in a small village near Koratagere. Little shops sell puja items and snacks. Fridays and festival days bring long queues, so agree one meeting point and one return time before the group goes in. The driver knows the spots to park near the temple when it is crowded. Simple meals are available close by, and the mini bus waits until everyone is back.

March to May is hot on this inland road, and Friday queues in the sun are tiring. Start at six, carry water cans and caps, and finish darshan before the afternoon heat. The cooler months, November to February, are easiest for a group of twenty, and weekdays are quieter than Fridays.
Seat children near a parent and away from the door. The day has four halts before the temple, so children are never long without a break. They usually enjoy the Maddur vada and tender coconut at breakfast. In the queue, keep them in the shade with water, and agree a meeting point in case anyone gets separated.
