Adi-Madhava-Raya Temple (1270 A.D), Belluru, Nagamangala Taluk, Mandya District.


Madhava Raya Temple built in 1270 A.D is a Trikootachala, three celled temple raised on a stellate parapet. The main cell houses a fine image of Adi-Madhava (one of the 24 forms of Maha Vishnu). The unique feature of the form is that the Lord holds Chakra in upper right hand and Shanka in the upper left. The lower right hand holds Gada and the lower left has Padma. To the left of Adi-Madhava we find Janardhana image and to the left we see Venu-gopala.

How to reach: On Bangalore- Hassan road, take a right turn at Belluru Cross to go to Belluru.
