    The Mallikarjuna temple on hilltop is a nice and clean temple. Shrimata Bhramaramba and Shri Durga also there to bless devotees. River Kaveri flow gracefully at the foothills. The place is full of peace and tranquil.

    When we visited here the temple was under maintenance and construction. Though we had darshan, it was not very divine. Once the temple is completed it must be really different. Parking available until the top. But we still have to take the steps to the temple. The view from the temple is serene. Must visit for a good bike ride from Bangalore.

    Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Temple is a religious temple situated at the mountain top of Muduktore. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ All the devotes have to climb a flight of stairs to reach the top of the mountain where Sri Mallikarjuna and Sri Bhramarambika temple are situated. A very holy place to visit. It's usually very crowded. Be sure to reach early to enjoy the weather and the temple visit.

    Mudukuthore Mallikarjuna here..! Beautiful temple near thalakadu, need to climb around 400 steps or vehicle will go 70% of the hill steps in other way.. When you go to the top of the hill it looks like very beautiful scenery of the river Kaveri.. Beware of some pujaris that may tie a thread to hand and may ask you to pay the money.. When you go down you can go for boating exactly opposite to the temple road.. Awesome placeπŸ’š

    Must visit, but be careful of many people asking for money in the name of lord. Openly they will ask u for money, which i didn't like. Even the poojari will ask money.

    Serene atmosphere with a beating view of Cauvery river Temple is under reconstruction now but you can have a Darshan of the God as there is a makeshift setup. Be prepared to climb some steep steps but view at the top is worth it.

    Very beautiful and picturesque Temple and its surroundings. Always cool breeze flows on top of the hills. One of the 5 Panchal linga Shiva God in this place and the other 4 are in Thalakadu which is 2 miles from Mudukutore. Cauvery river flows on the foothills. God Mallikarjuna and Goddess Bhramaramba abode this hill. Goddess Mudukuthore Maramma also reside near this hill in a separate temple complex.

    It is the Hindu temple. The Mallikarjun Temple is situated on top if the hill. You have to climb the hill by the steps. Take sumne water to stay hydrated during climbing. And be very careful of monkeys. The scenery from the top of the hill is just awesome. You can reach here by bus. But you have to walk a bit after getting down from bus.

  • 5/5 Shivaraj G. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 81 reviews
    An ancient temple dedicated to godess Bhramarambika and God Mallikarjuna swamy, temple is situated on the bank of Kaveri river, the place is also called Brahmagiri. Recently temple is getting rebuild with 30cr budget. Authorities should give immediate attention to cleaning the steps near river as it's extremely slippery and people are getting injured and may have even taken someone life.

    This temple is really beautiful amidst the green forest near Talakadu. During monsoon, the view from the temple is great. You can reach here either by your own vehicle or KSRTC bus. This can be a one day trip from Bangalore with your family and friends.

  • 5/5 Monisha N. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice temple,one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. Only thing is it's generally crowded so you need to spend more money for Darshan. If you pay for abhisekam then only you can touch the holy linga otherwise you will be praying only from a distance. They charge 1500 for a couple and 750 for single ticket. Puja was good but I didn't understood anything as every instructions were given only in Telugu.

    Temple is going through major renovations currently. So dharshan is greatly restricted. So may not be the right period to visit rite now.

  • 4/5 Krishna R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful location to view river kaveri. A Shiva temple in the name of Mallikarjuna is situated on top of the hill. Last leg of journey is by walk about 100 steps. Very scenic location. Temple renovation in progress

  • 5/5 sricharan c. 1 year ago on Google
    Mesmerizing views from the top of the hill. The temple is under renovation though. They are even collecting donations. I hope they can renovate it ASAP with all the nice helping hands 😊

  • 5/5 Arun K. 2 years ago on Google
    The temple is on a small hill, and you have to climb a well designed staircase for about 5 minutes. Midway, there is another flight of 100 steps to the same temple, but the gate to this stairway is opened only on certain days. Devotees place flowers and offerings on each step by climbing down from the top gate. The temple premises is clean, and well lighted. The priests are considerate to the devotees. They permitted me to sit in a corner and chant the Rudra Mahanyasam, Namakam and Chamakam, and took me to each sannidhi to chant mantras with them.

    Mallikarjuna Temple is located at Mudukuthore, Karnataka , at a distance of 125 kms from Bangalore & 53 kms from Mysore. Sri Mallikarjuna temple is one of the Panchalinga Sthalas, the other four being in Talakad too. Vaidyeshsara temple, Arkeshwara, Vasukishwara or Pataleshwara, Saikateshwara or Maraleshwara and Mallikarjuna constitute the Panchalingams of Talakkad. It is believed that one who obtains a darshan of the five Lingas will be absolved of all sins. Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple is a revered Shiva temple near Mysore. It is one of the five Shiva temples in the region, which are popularly known as the panchalingas. Mallikarjuna Temple is in Mudukuthore, while the other temples are in Talakadu. Mudukuthore (officially known as Thirumalakudu Bettahalli) is also close to Talakadu. And it is on the banks of the River Kaveri. Mudukuthore has been named so because the river takes a turn here and flows forward. β€œMuduku” means diversion, and β€œthore” means flow forward. Mudukuthore Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple is a scenic pilgrimage centre. And devotees come here to take blessings from Lord Shiva. Once in around 12 years, one can also be a part of the special β€˜Panchalinga Darshana’ worship. It also includes a visit to the other four ancient Shiva temples – Arkeshwara, Maraleshwara, Pataleshwara and Vaidhyanatheshwara. Mallikarjuna Temple is on a hill in Mudukuthore. And as per the legends, Arjuna (one of the Pandavas) stayed on that hill. He carved the idol of Lord Shiva for puja. And the temple got its name from the β€œMallika” flower, which he used during his ritual. The temple is on the small Somagiri hill. And as one climbs the steps to the temple, two β€œNandi'' bull statues will welcome you to the spacious courtyard. The temple walls are decorated with beautiful frescoes depicting scenes from Indian mythologies. It has a tall deepasthamba, and after the courtyard one will get to the sanctum which houses the Shivalinga. In Mudukuthore Mallikarjuna Temple, one can worship the Shivalinga, as well as Sri Bhramarambhika Devi. The steps and covered walkway also offer a panoramic view of the greenery and the river flowing past. The nearby village Somanathapura also has a few temples which people visit during the trip to Mudukuthore. Chennakeshava Temple, built during the rule of the Hoysala dynasty, is especially popular. But another one worth visiting is Sri Venugopala Swamy Temple. These have beautiful wall carvings depicting incidents from Indian mythology. Being a part of the Panchalinga Darshana – Panchalinga Darshana is a holy ritual celebrated once in 12 years. People visit and worship in the five Shiva temples in the area, including the Mudukuthore Mallikarjuna Devasthanam (Temple). Must have darshan of Panchalinga temples.
