Mysore Chamundeswari Hill Temple
Mysore

Presiding Deity:
Chamundeeswari

The Chamundeeswari temple is located on a hill near Mysore and has been held in reverence for centuries as the tutelary deity of the kings of Mysore. Chamundeeswari or Durga is the fierce form of Shakti who vanquished the demon Mahishasuran. A colourful image of the demon welcomes visitors at the summit. There are several images of Nandi and the most popular is on the 800th step on the hill. This Nandi is over 15 feet high, and 24 feet long and was created during the reign of Dodda Devaraja, who also built the one thousand steps leading up the hill. Shrines dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu are located on the hill. Much of the current temple is the result of renovation efforts carried out in early nineteenth century, although the original shrine is older and has been associated with the Hoysala ruler Vishnu Vardhana (12th century) and with the Vijayanagar rulers of the 17th century.
