Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud, Hindu temple in Nanjangud, India.
The Srikanteshwara Temple stands on the right bank of the Kabini River with a nine-story gateway tower reaching 120 feet in height.
The temple construction began during the Ganga dynasty period, with significant expansions made under the reign of the Mysore Wadiyar royal family.
The temple celebrates the Dodda Jaathre festival, during which thousands of devotees gather to pull decorated chariots through the streets of Nanjangud.
The temple complex includes multiple shrines, prayer halls, and sacred wells, remaining open to visitors throughout the week for religious ceremonies.
