Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple, Hindu temple in Melkote, India
The Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple stands on rocky hills of Yadugiri, offering views across the Kaveri valley with elaborate stone carvings on pillars and domes.
The temple construction was completed in 1104 CE under Hoysala Empire supervision after Ramanujacharya discovered sacred clay and installed the Tirunarayana deity in 1099 CE.
The temple holds three significant crowns stored by the government, which are presented during specific annual ceremonies to honor the image of Cheluvanarayana Swamy.
The temple complex lies 156 kilometers from Bangalore and 48 kilometers from Mysore, with Mandya railway station serving as the nearest major transport connection.
The temple houses an utsavamurthi metal idol recovered by Ramanujacharya, which according to records existed in the region before December 1098 CE.
