History of this temple:
A significant Shiva center for about a thousand years has been Nanjangud. This temple is credited to the Chola Rulers of the 11th century, with important renovations made by the Hoysalas as well as the Vijayanagara kings. The Hoysala rulers later repaired this temple.

Sri Srikanteshwara swamy also known as Nanjundeswara.
This place is called the Dakskina Kashi of the South. According to the Mythology, Sage Gauthama installed a Linga, the idol form of Shiva.

The huge Nanjundeswara or Srikanteswara temple was built by the Gangas in the 19th century. The temple has many minor shrines like the Narayana with consorts, Chandikeswara, Parvathi, Natya Ganapathi and others.

The nine-storied tall Gopura or tower is ascribed to the queen of the Mysore kings.

It is one of peaceful place I have visited ,where u can be blessed with a lot of gods in this huge temple where there are n no. of small temple inside.
There is many shops outside the temple for your needs.
It is located near the kapila river tributary of the kaveri. You can enjoy the river view along with the horse ride.

One of the best temples nearby to mysore. The architecture is quite awesome. But one thing I didn't like is the kapila river which s dirty and u can see many clothes, dirt and other things floating nearby to steps. Otherwise it's a very peaceful and powerful temple. A must visit place in Karnataka.

It's my first time visit to the temple. So excited and happy. Went for a morning darshan. Queue was very long. It took me around 1 hr for darshan. Finally u can see the lord Shiva peacefully. There is even prasadam during afternoon time.
