Lakshmi Narayana Temple, Chamundi Hills, Near Mysore, India

Mysore, the Palace city of India, is famous not only for its spectacular palace and zoo but also for Chamundi Hills. Chamundi Hills is located at a distance of around 13 km from Mysore, and it has remained one of the favorite travel destinations in Mysore for many years. A write-up about Mysore tourism is not complete without mentioning Chamundi Hills.


Lakshmi Narayana temple, dedicated to Lord Narayana (Vishnu), is located on the backside of the ancient Mahabaleshwar temple. This temple is always visited by the devotees who visit the Mahabaleshwar temple. There is only one shrine found in this small temple dedicated to Lord Narayana and his consorts, Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi. Even though there are no records that I can find about the history of this temple, I could say this temple is also an ancient temple. This may not be as old as the Mahabaleshwar temple or Chamundeshwari temple. This temple might have been built or rebuilt in the 19th century CE.


When you visit Chamundi Hills, visit this beautiful temple too, along with Chamundeshwari temple.


Happy travelling.
