A thousand – year old history has made a signal contribution to the massive proportions of the temple is one of the ancient and well-known pilgrimage centers of Karnataka is at a distance of about 25kms from Mysore and is famous for its temple dedicated to Shiva described as Nanjundeshwara. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison and this legend relates to the churing of the ocean when Shiva had to consume haalahala. Nanjunda became Visha kanta and also Srikanta for having digested it. Hence the deity is also known as Srikanteshwara, one cures diseases. The town is situated on the banks of the Kapila or Kabini River where a dip in its waters on any momentous occasion is considered to be more meritotious than a dip in the Ganges. who would miss such a great opportunity to visit this place with Viswanath Mahavadi #traveller #travelling #travel #history #temples #sacred #explore #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #wanderer #bnesimppl #devotion #nature #biker #monuments #epic #traveldiaries #roadrides #travellust #adventure #sunset #carride
