This giant Nandi (Bull) image is located on top of Chamundi hill in Mysore. Over 350 years old, it is one of the oldest symbols of Mysore. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore. It is the same maharaja who also commissioned the 1000 stepped stairway to the hilltop. Since our last visit 6 years ago, the entrance to this important bull sculpture temple has been closed to vehicles. As we visited the Sri Chamundeshwari temple above we chose to go down 300 steps to get to this one and of course we had to go back but worth to see the magnificent cow sculpture which has been cleaned and looks much better. I believe the alternative route involves climbing 1000 steps, so I recommend driving to the top and doing the 300 step workout This is world's third largest nandi whereas first in Hampi, second in thanjavoor Tamil Nadu

Sri Nandi Temple in Mysore is the bliss to visit when you plan for the Mysore trip from your place. The temple is very near to the Chamundeshwari temple and is just half the distance to the temple there is a 5m tall idol of Nandi the sacred bull of Lord Shiva. The temple premises are very pleasant and a must worth a visit for the devotional tourists. Huge sized granite stone Nandi very well caved and nicely placed on hill. Nandi is mount of Lord Shiva and one finds and one finds Nandi at all Shiva temples.It also called Nandidurg or Nandi Betta. This is Big Mandi a top Chamundi Hills Mysore. Must visit if you are in Mysore. Nandi is not at top most location of the hill but a little down. Either you park in top and walk down through steps a little or on way up or down park your car and walk sideways to be here. We need to walk a maximum 5 minutes. There are lot of stalls on sideways selling cut fruits and sugarcane juice but try them if you are confident of your stomach. A little walk down the steps from Nandi you see a marvellous view of entire Mysore don't miss that. Its the best view one can get ,The large of the Nandi is beautifully carved from a single rock in the ancient history of the Mysuru.

An imposing and huge Nandi Bull statue on the hill is definitely worth visiting. From the Chamundeshwari temple, it's around 15 mins trek one way, downward journey towards the Nandi bull is ofcourse easier but the way back, same route, is a vertical and steep even though with stairs. If you do this trek, you get at least one superb view point for clicking pictures of the city from the hill

The Nandi idol on the way to Sri Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru is a breathtaking monolith that commands awe and reverence. As I approached the magnificent sculpture, I marveled at its colossal size and intricate detailing, a testament to the craftsmanship of ancient artisans. Compared to the ones in Basavanagudi, Bangalore, and Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu, this Nandi stands out for its sheer scale and imposing presence. While all three Nandi idols exude spiritual significance, the one in Mysuru holds a unique charm, perfectly complementing the divine energy of the Sri Chamundeshwari Temple and leaving a lasting impression on pilgrims and art enthusiasts alike.

Beautiful Place which is located on Chamundi hills, will find this on the way to chamundeshwari temple. The temple is open to air, had been here during Navratri 10th October 2021, the crowd here was less maybe because we visited the place in the morning after the darshan of Maa Chamundi and we could park our vehicle nearby and walk to the temple There is no fees charged to visit this place Richly carved monolithic statue of Nandi, peaceful place amidst nature!! Very well maintained, you will find some eateries outside. There is also a viewpoint located at the entrance and one can see the whole Mysore city!! Amazing place, a must visit if you go to Mysore! P.s- Please keep the surroundings clean, do not litter the place and yeah there are many monkeys 🐒 so be careful of your belongings!!

This Nandi temple is actually on the way to Chamundeshwari temple. When you complete 700 steps out of 1008 steps you will find this huge nandi ji temple. You can take blessings of Nandi ji and get a raksha sutra dhaga from Pandit ji. You will find peace in this beautiful place.

This is an amazing spiritually and beautifully carved Nandhi statue situated little over half way to Chanundeshwari Temple on top of Chamundi hill. You can reach this location either by foot by climbing stairs from Mysuru or by vehicle through dedicated paved one way road. There is also a Cave Shiva temple right next to Nandhi statue.

It's part of the Chamundi hills. You have to take a slight detour during the climb to the temple to reach here. It's a huge bull, lord Shiva's vehicle ( vahana) Nandi that you can see. The majestic Nandi is made from a monolithic rock. Beautiful to see and also you feel at peace here. You can also choose to climb down from the top of Chamundi hills about 300 steps and around 30 minutes to get here. The steps can be found next to the Dasoha or the lunch hall of the chamundeshwari temple

On the way to Chamundi amma temple via foot steps this monolithic Nandi is situated at 700 footsteps in between the nature. Must visit in mysuru. There is also a road for vehicles to reach this temple. (At present it is close due to landslide) pls check with local before taking vehicle.

It's a great place to visit once you visit chamundeshwari temple in Mysore. It's the biggest Nandi I have ever seen. Usually only Nandi is rare to be seen, I wonder where is Shiva in this case. Nandi is mesmerising. Very beautiful. Road to reach there is under construction but car can reach there from other way which is not tar but motorable. Steps are also available be very rarely used by anyone. Kids love to see this big sculpture. I would love to visit again.

This giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located at the top of Chamundi hills in Mysore. More than 350 years old, this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore.

For going chamundi hills please read Wikipedia page.. if you go via vehicle you will reach cumandeshwari temple but there is other way also which has 1000 steps it's depend on you how you want to go... This nandi is expected to be 2000 year old but it doesn't look like that... It's a good sculpture and on the other side of the hill from chamundeshwari temple... it's on the steps way.

Very beautifully carved monolithic idol of Nandi. It is an 15 minutes downward trek from the Chamundi Hill. There is also an road as well for reaching the place. Magnificent architecture Must visit..!!

Started trekking from Shri Chamundeshwari Hill Foot, it was a great experience, able to claim 1000 steps in 45 minutes, visited temple and Got blessings of Shri Chamundeshwari Devi 💥✨✨

Big ancient Nandi in chamundi hills. Seems that there are four of them in each direction and this one is the biggest of the lot. In my younger days I remember to see this entire bull in black color and now the rennovation has changed its colour. Huge repai work in progress due to which vehicles are not allowed but you can go by walk.

About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore. It is the same maharaja who also commissioned the 1000 stepped stairway to the hilltop. More than 350 years old, this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore. The Nandi is located almost at the ¾th the way to the hilltop. The main road to hilltop arrives at a "View Point" junction. The right fork leads to Nandi (2km) and the straight road leads to the main shrine of Chamundeswari further at the top of the hill. The 2km road to nandi is broken, so the only way to get there is walk 2kms. The road is flat and takes 20-30 min to reach. There is an old shiva temple in the cave behind the nandi.

If you are in Chamundi hills then u must visit this place 😍 something so vibrant place but don’t take any food ( lot of monkeys ) keep water bottle with you ..

Serene atmosphere and the Nandi is so majestic that it will be mesmerizing to forget everything and make you wonder and keep looking at it...the open green space adds to the pomp and grandeur of the single rock sculpted bull.

Nandi Mandir is there en route to Chamundi temple. Currently access to Nandi is limited due to road under construction and vehicle have to go slow to reach temple. Carvings on Nandi are worth to observe and not to be missed.

The temple is situated on hills. The roads are very nice and one can see many view points on the way. It's a peaceful and serene place. There is a cave temple just besides this which you can visit as well.

Shree Nandi temple is 650 metres from Chamundi temple, around up & down 350 steps to reach nandi temple, this is secondary route. Because of land sliding/road damage vehicle are not allowed near Nandi temple. Nandi is single stoned, crafted very big and beautiful.

Chamundi hills and temple. Must visit if you are in Mysore. Few good steps upto Nandi from the tempke at the top.

It was am wonderful place located in the middle of chamundi hills, the nandi idole is very big and we experienced a positive vibes there . Plz do visit nandi temple when ur in Mysore trip.

It is huge nandi statue which is in open space carved out of monolithic rock. When climbing chamundi hill through steps , nandi will be seen after 700 steps . Previously it was black in colour due to accumulation of oil and dust . ASI later cleaned the statue with high power water jet and statue is turned back to original state (white colour)

The road to Nandi is closed due to the recent landslide. However, you can reach here through the path opposite the Chamundi temple on the hill. You can walk down the steps (300) to the Nandi temple. The cave temple behind the Nandi is closed though. The walk down to the Nandi is just awesome. The pathway leads you directly to the gigantic Nandi seated patiently and peacefully looking so majestic.

Very silent and peaceful place it is, the giant Nandi statue is located in the jungle of Chamundi hills. This is one of the sacred hills in India. The view from here is magnificent and you can see the entire Mysore city.

Attractive and cool place, early morning will be the best time to visit.

good history to know about the man behind this bull,he took 7 years to complete this project

Its is a temple of nandi went we climb the chamundhi beta its comes in between

Chamundi Hill Road, Mysuru. Also known as the Nandidurg or Nandi Betta, this is a popular hill fortress in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka. The name of the hills has been derived from the Dravidian temples dedicated to Nandi, the mount of Lord Shiva.

It is a very special place. I am very happy to to visit this place. big Nandi Idol is soo beautiful

The place is very calm and it is right below the Chamundi temple very few minutes distance.may be upto 2kms. Maintained very well and be aware of monkeys when carrying eatables.

I took the steps on a hot sunny day and it was tiring but I enjoyed the workout. It was on a Sunday & I started around 12 PM. People: pilgrims/tourists like any other tourist spot crowds here and throw garbage/plastics (lays packets, ice cream covers, cups, etc.) leaving traces of their presence which I felt very bad. However I wish they're more eco conscious, hope this happens with time. Otherwise, road route is more pristine is what I felt with good view points.

The giant Nandi is situated on the top of the Chamundi hills view with a fantastic view of the Mysore city. About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, is the third largest monolithic Nandi statue in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore.
