Trip to Sri Navaneetha Krishnar Temple - Dodda mallur
Two weeks back I got a call from my uncle saying that they were coming to Bangalore (whichI knew) to visit a place Mallur to visit some Krishnar temple (this was news). They wanted me also to join but then I didn't commit but did end up going with them. Had taken some pics of the temple - posting it here. We were able to witness the Abhishgham which was really divine. If you ever get an oppurtunity don't ever miss it, believe me its really worth it. Yea!! Couldn't capture any pictures of the Abhishegham as photography is not allowed there. Go on a Sunday or a Public Holiday - chances of witnessing an Abhishegham is more and that of small kids crawling around - its an apt scene to see in the temple - makes the palce more divine.

How we reached the place: We booked a SUMO for 6 Rs a kilometer. The place is around 70 KMs from Bangalore. We started from my place jayanagar @ 8.30AM and then went to RT Nagar to pick up my another uncle and aunt and after that headed towards Channapatna. Channapatna is a small district enroute to Mysore.

About 60Kms from Bangalore, on the Mysore - Bangalore Highway (one mile from Channapatna), the tall tower of a famous temple peeking through the swaying coconut palms seems to beckon your attention. The highway road sign identifies the place as Mallur Agrahara. The curious traveler, who pulls over to explore this tower, would have reached the temple of Lord Aprameya, His Consort Aravindavalli and the renowned ‘Ambegal’ Krishna.
This is a Divya Kshetram and a Punya Bhoomi. The verdant greenery, Punya Theerthams, the temple complex and its avaranams all provide for an atmosphere conducive for religious piety. For more details visit this link.






This a part of the temple entrance - the Krishnar here is one of its kind.

I am not sure what sculpure this is, it caught my eye so took a snap.

This a Goburam inside the temple adorned with all avatharams (incarnations).

Seems like some kind of Upadesham happening. Don't know the story.

Not sure what this is...

Periappa, Periamma, Mr.Thiagarajan,
