Tourist Attraction
Chamundi Hill
Chamundi Hill, located about 13 kilometers east of Mysuru, Karnataka, is a prominent landmark known for its spiritual and cultural significance. The hill rises to an elevation of approximately 3,480 feet (1,060 meters) and is home to the Chamundeshwari Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Chamundeshwari, the patron deity of the Mysore Royal Family.
The temple, built in the Dravidian architectural style, features a towering seven-tiered gopuram (gateway tower) and intricate carvings. The temple is accessible via a steep stone stairway of 1,008 steps, offering a challenging yet rewarding climb with panoramic views of Mysuru and its surroundings.
At the halfway point of the climb, you'll find a massive statue of Nandi, the sacred bull and vehicle of Lord Shiva, which stands about 16 feet tall and 25 feet long.
The temple itself houses a statue of Goddess Chamundeshwari, depicted in a powerful yogic posture, symbolizing her victory over the demon Mahishasura.
