Shree Vishnumurthy Temple, Hindu temple in Kulai, Karnataka, India

Shree Vishnumurthy Temple stands in Kulai, about 15 km north of Mangalore, and holds a statue of Vishnu estimated at 600 years old. The presiding deity is Shree Vishnumurthy, a form of Vishnu; the shrine was found in ruins in the forest around 1911 and has been renovated repeatedly.

The shrine stood ruined in the forest until around 1911, when Venkatramana Hebbar, a local archaeologist and historian, found it. The Vishnu statue inside is estimated at about 600 years old. The temple has since been renovated repeatedly and remains in active worship.

The annual festival begins on Chathrudhasi of Meena Masa with Dwajarohanam; Rathostavam falls on the fourth day, and the fifth day brings Churnoostava, Maha Annasantarpane, Naga Darshan, Sri Annappa Panjurli Nemostava and Avabrathostava. Shree Vishnumurthy, Kodamanthaya and Mayamdal Devi are worshipped here. In Shima Masa the temple holds flower Alankara Pooja, Abhishekam with tender coconut and Mahaganapathi Appada Pooja.

The annual festival runs five days from Chathrudhasi of Meena Masa, with the Rathostavam on the fourth day and Churnoostava, Maha Annasantarpane and Naga Darshan on the fifth, so expect the grounds to fill then.
