Kolaramma Temple, Hindu temple in Kolar district, India

Kolaramma Temple is a Hindu sanctuary in Kolar district featuring two main shrines connected by a vestibule. The primary shrine faces east while a secondary shrine is oriented northward.

The sanctuary dates to the 10th century during Chola dynasty rule. Its walls bear over 30 inscriptions in Kannada and Tamil that testify to this early period.

Worshippers here honor Goddess Kolaramma, depicted as Mahishasuramardini, viewed through a mirror positioned opposite the main idol during prayer. This practice reflects how devotees connect with the deity through reflection and indirect sight.

Visitors should note the sanctuary may close during specific prayer times throughout the day. Morning and evening visits typically offer fewer crowds and a more peaceful experience.

The sanctuary contains an underground coin collection pit accumulated through a small opening over hundreds of years. This hidden treasure reveals centuries of devotee contributions.
