5/5 Ranjith D. 1 year ago on Google
This
temple
was
constructed
in
12th
century.
Sri
Ramanujacharya
arrived
to
this
town
(Melukote)
and
glorified
the
temple
even
more.
According
to
the
legend
this
temple
was
set
up
and
administered
in
such
a
way
that
there
is
no
discrimination
among
people
with
respect
to
caste,
color,
rich
or
poor.
This
is
the
principle
behind
the
popularity
of
this
temple
which
adds
to
the
blessings
we
get
from
the
diety
himself
Sri
Cheluvanarayana
Swamy.
The
temple
has
a
beautiful
architecture
with
immense
details
to
the
structure.
It
is
approximately
3
hours
away
from
Bangalore.
Please
plan
the
travel
time
accordingly
to
manage
the
breakfast.
Around
kunigal
there
are
chain
of
restaurants
for
breakfast.
The
temple
is
build
around
mountains
so
expect
a
hot
temperature.
There
is
another
famous
temple
called
Sri
Yoga
Narasimha
temple
nearby
which
is
a
must
visit.
The
vehicles
can
go
upto
half
a
way
and
from
there
you
will
have
to
climb
the
stairs
which
takes
approximately
15
mins.
There
is
a
pushkarni
as
well
which
is
huge
and
a
must
visit.
The
temple
queue
system
could
be
improved
for
faster
Darshan.
For
lunch
there
are
not
so
good
options
in
melukkte
town.
The
diety
himself
is
very
charming
to
look
at.
He
seems
to
be
at
peace.
Overall
a
very
good
pilgrimage
spot.
