Srikanteshwara Swami Temple at Nanjangudu is a beautiful temple located on the banks of Kabini river. We reached this temple around 12pm and planned to take bath in Kabini river before going to the temple. The Anadhanam timings is from 12noon to 2.30pm. Temple is closed between 12pm to 4pm and hence I advise you to please plan accordingly. There is a very big Nandhi statue inside the temple and there are lot of swami sculptures which I am not aware of. I went with my mom and it took only 30min to complete our dharshan.
Take a full round of temple where you can see different statues of lord Vinayagar in the Temple’s pragaaram.

Nice devotional place, pleasant atmosphere everywhere. Architecture is great, temple surroundings cleanliness also there. Can take holy dip or bath in Kapila river, changing rooms are somewhat not good, asusual more public so cleanliness also we can't expect, total & total nice place with good views near river & temple.
Beautiful temple. Old yet marvelously maintained. We had to wait in queue for 10 to 15 mins for darshanam. Crowd management is good. Carvings are as usual quite intriguing. Huge stone carved Nandi was a major attraction.
Neat and clean temple.
Parking is available at a fixed price.
One has to pay for fixed amount of 5rs per footware pair.

Nanjangud : The South Kashi located 45km away from mysuru city. The people were overwhelmed to take visit during weekends and Monday.
The ambience of temple was greatly maintained. But there are three sort of entry :
1) Half round - ₹ 50
2) Direct entry - ₹ 100
3) Full round - Free of cost
Whatever we've gone in dharma Darshana queue and witnessed lord. For content creators of ancient history and photography enthusiast must visit the place.
Anna Santharpana ( Prasadam )
There is a heavy queue. The one disappointing event was in queue the ice cream seller selling the kuldi for ₹5 while there is no dustbin for ice candy covers. That's an irritating thing for pilgrims.
Fun activity :
▪︎ You can take a Horse ride for ₹50 in the ground opposite to dining hall.
▪︎ Chakkuli, Nippat and regionally available Fruits were selling near temple. Have a try and support them.
▪︎ There's a river where you can swim
▪︎ In river you can go for Boat ride ( ತೆಪ್ಪಾ ). The boatman will fascinate you by rotating the Boat in horrifying way.
Finally take some photos in front of temple and immerse in spirituality.

Visited this famous temple town near Mysore after 30 odd years. Still awesome, had a lovely experience and came out with really good vibes. It is well organised and clean and wheelchair accessible which is a new one for an old temple. Kudos for making it inclusive.
A Must-Visit Temple Nestled amidst serene surroundings, this temple offers solace and spiritual rejuvenation. Its ancient architecture and divine atmosphere beckon visitors from all walks of life. A pilgrimage here is more than a journey; it's a transformative experience that leaves an indelible mark on the soul.
One of the most beautiful temple, also known as dhakshin khashi. Divine and serene place, neat and clean. We went around 6PM so we were fortunate to see the evening pooja rituals completely.
Very ancient and famous temple the Mysore area. Temple located on the banks of Kabini river. Here lord Shiva is called as Nanjudeshwara and Srikanteswara. Very tall nine storied main Gopuram is the main attraction and temple also well maintained. We visited at 4.15 pm . No crowd at that time. Very free and relaxed visit.
Temple architecture is marvellous. It was heavily crowded when we visited there. Special paid Darshana is available. Temple premises well maintained. The Kabini river is flowing next to the temple. Car parking is available nearby.
One of the well maintained temple and a very powerful place with good divine power. It feels good to be inside this temple and the intricate design and architecture all over the walls makes it a must visit place. Sanctum Santorum in the center is well placed to create divine energy. Overall the best place to visit again and again. It's always good to go for Dharma darshana with some time to grasp the divine energy and give the same amount for aarti.
Polluted water, greedy merchants and a beautiful monument. The local sellers of "God's Stuff" were not taking care of animals created by God. They were dying of hunger and thirst. Good place for beggars and fake God's messengers. Female beggars can make a lot of money over there. Laddu from the laddu counter tastes good. God's presence can be felt in the carvings. People who carved and built this temple are the actual Gods.
I can't explain divinity in just words I am sorry. Visit during Sun set time quite calm and peace. Ancient temples were not just the places of worship but science centres.
Visiting the Nanjanagudu Shri Srikanteshwara Swami Temple was more than just a sightseeing trip; it was a spiritual journey that left me feeling renewed and inspired.

The towering nine-story gopuram, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful stucco figures, is a sight to behold. The Dravidian style architecture, with its intricate pillars and exquisitely sculpted panels, transports you to another era. Every detail, from the finely-wrought bells to the serene lotus pond, speaks volumes about the dedication and artistry poured into this sacred space.
