Marasuru Madivala is a village in Anekal Taluk of Bengaluru, in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is a historical settlement with a millennium-long history. Its significance lies in the discovery of a herostone-inscription and an ornate sculpture of Chamundi found in the village. It is housed in a new mantapa. It is home to a 10th-century Someshwara temple, and a modern-day Nandi mantapa restored with 8th-century Ganga style stone pillars, Sati stones, hero-stones and ancient Jaina idols.
