Nandi as well as the temple beside it can be found at the 700th step of the Chamundi Hill.Mysore was ruled by the demon-king #Mahishasura, he was a buffalo-headed monster. For this reason, came the name of this place – Mahishuru, the town of demon Mahisha. Hearing to the prayers of Gods and Goddess to save them from the monster, Goddess Parvathi, (consort of Lord Siva), took birth as Chamundeshwari and killed the monster. After killing the demon, the Goddess resided atop the Chamundi Hills, where she is worshiped with reverence and devotion. The goddess is also called Mahishasura Mardini meaning She who slew Mahishasura.About the Temple :Location: Chamundeshwari Temple, Chamundi Hill, Mysuru, Karnataka 570010Country:India Nearest Airport: Mysore airport(MYQ)Built-In: 12th centuryBuilt-By: the Rulers of the Hoysala DynastyDeity: ChamundeshwariArchitectural Styles:DravidianFestivals: NavaratriTemple Timings:7:30am–2pm, 3:30–6pm, 7:30–9pmBest Time To Visit: October to February You Might Also Like What to wear to return to the office?
