Chamundeshwari Temple, Hindu temple on Chamundi Hills, Mysore, India
The temple stands at an elevation of 3300 feet, featuring a massive tower and granite structures spread across the hilltop location.
The Hoysala Dynasty constructed the initial shrine in the 12th century, while the Vijayanagara Empire added the temple tower in the 17th century.
During Navaratri, the temple decorates the goddess idol in nine different ways, representing the Navadurgas with precious jewels from former Maharajas.
The temple opens daily from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM, with regular bus services running from Mysore city center.
A granite statue of Nandi, measuring 5 meters high and 8 meters long, sits at the 700th step of the thousand-step staircase.
