Nice experience at the temple. You have to climb some 100 steps, but the climb is well worth it. Approach road till top is in very bad condition though.

This temple requires a steep climb to be reached. It takes upto 25-40 mins to climb the stairs. The temple is quite big and generally there wont be much queue. The view from the top is very nice. Would definitely recommend to go here once atleast.

150 steps to climb.. beautiful temple.. 👌

Nice place to hangout. Must try the puliyogare. Its best

Melukote has two temples dedicated to lord Vishnu, Cheleunarayana in foothills and Yogararashima on hill top, Sri Ramanucharya lived here for 12 years which is considered has very prominent, every year vairamudi event is carried out by the state government jewels and series of crowns are brought from government treasure and decorated to Cheleunarayana, Melukote is 135 kms from Bangalore and 35 kms from Mysore, if you are travelling from Bangalore you should pass through Mandya, if you are traveling in bus get down at Mandya and take bus to Melkote. peoples who cant climb the hill can take auto to hill and from there just climb few steps, three fourth steps can be avoided. A beautiful and clam place.

Very spiritual place of ancient times and peaceful temple and also one of the powerfull temple in india

Holy place. Gives a satisfaction. You can view whole melukote town from this temple.

Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple is a very Ancient temple which is located on the top of the hill. One can reach this temple by climbing steps.Those who cant reach the temple entire by foot ,there is a half way road available. Once you reach that point ,you need to climb up and reach the temple.There are lot of monkeys are there, so be careful of your belongings. From the top of the hill we can see good view of the town. Peaceful environment..Finally an Auspicious temple. Worth visit to this temple.

Lovely temple perched atop rocky hill. 150 odd step to climb if you manage to drive your vehicle half way. The moorthy is part of mythology and folklores.. One wonders how the folks managed to get all that construction materials atop the hill.. there are no crowds now.. one should not miss the majjige to quench the thirst ..

Nice place to visit. 1 day trip from Bangalore.. just relax and come. If you are going from Bangalore, take the Kunigal highway route.. its the best and fastest route to reach.. To reach the top of yoga Narasimha temple, you need to climb certain number of steps.. visit the kalyani, the main temple, Cheluvanarayanaswamy Temple.. do visit raya gopura and danushkoti.. so overall a nice place..

Located in melukote, Karnataka, is one of the sacred places in Karnataka.On the top of yadugiri hill is the temple of Yoganarasimha swamy. It is believed that that the image of yoga Narasimha swamy was installed by prahlada himself. Two ways to go to top hill either by walking of around 300+ steps or go by bike or car to some extent and from their by walk of around 150+ steps. A must visit place, be careful with monkeys. Melkote View from top hill is awesome. Try to visit during temple timings to feel the divine Yoga Narasimha swamy blessings.

Very good place to ride bikes r cars u can see more peacocks flying over there

Very peaceful and divine place. Amazing view from the hill top. There are about 100-130 steps to reach the temple.

The Temple of Yoga Narasimha is situated at Melukote in Mandya District. It is 148 km from Bangalore, 39km form Mandya Town and 50 km from Mysore city. There are some direct buses going to Melukote from Bangalore via Mandya. But the best way to go is to by own car or hire a car since there are many places nearby one can see when going to Melukote. The temple is dedicated to one of the many incarnations of Lord Vishnu - Lord Narsimha Swamy. From very far on the way to Melkote one can see the Temple on the top of the hillock looking so fantastic. To go the temple one needs to cover hundreds of steps (some 300 steps). This is one of the most sacred temple for Hindus and one of the best attractions in Melukote. The fascinating and alluring temple situated on the top of the hill at a height of 1777 meters from sea level. It is not only very famous temple but its architectural beauty is also very impressive. The panoramic view of Melukote can be seen from the Temple. It is so beautiful around. The temple of Lord Narasimha is considered to be one of the seven holy centers. There are pujas happen there everyday. It is believed one of the ancient temples, and also said that it is the idol of Lord Narasimha was installed by none other than the Prahalada, the great, great devotee of Lord Vishnu himself. Photography inside the temple is prohibited. But having camera there is a must as the scenes from the temple around are just amazing. There are two ways to go to the temple, one is taking steps which is difficult for elderly people and one is a road where one can take their vehicles and reach exact near the temple itself. Still there are many steps from there also to reach the Temple. Timing are there for pujas. So go there but make sure you know the timing, reach on time or else you have to wait for long to offer puja. Once Darshan of Lord Narasimha is over still there few more temples one can visit. One full day one needs to see and enjoy the entire melukote. There are temples, Hills, Rocks, Ponds, Lakes and many more.

The Sri Yoga Narasimha Temple at Melukote is not just a sacred pilgrimage center but also an engineering and architectural marvel. Legend has it that the deity was installed by none other than Prahlada, son of the demon Hiranyaksahipu. The temple itself is perched precariously (seemingly!) on a hill. It is over 1000 years old, built by the prosperous Hoysala kingdom. While I would suggest one should climb the 300 steps, for those who are unable to navigate the entire length by foot there is a motorable road half way up the hill.

Its a small town just 40 km away from Mandya district. If you are fan of Malgudi days these is the right place to go as it will take you to old memories about small typical Indian village but the historical significance you cant undermine just by the size of the village1. Go hangout with friends on weekend enjoy there famous puligre and appreciate the architect2. Trust me you wont regret going there.3. Stop thinking and visit this place ASAP

One of the old and famous Hindu temple in Karnataka of Yoga Narasimha Swamy. You can reach this temple till half of the way by car or two wheeler, rest half way u need to climb around (1000 - 500, not sure about the steps ).There are lots of monkeys, so b carefull with your belongings.Well maintained place. Anyone who is planning for a weekend trip can visit. There are many other places near by to visit.

Our first visit to Tirunarayanapuram was in the year 1990. We came here from Mysore and were thrilled to be here. We stayed with our friends who accompanied us and guided us to the temples. In the evening we were taken to Narasimha temple on a hill. It was a long climb and we availed of the doli services for my mother-in-law. The climb was strenuous as there are almost 300 steps . The temple gopuram was imposing and the view provided from the top was spell-binding. Narasimha was in seated posture and the aradhakar swami splashed water on our faces which is supposed to remove fears of all kinds. This Perumal pratistai was done by Prahlada and has been endowed with ornaments and puja items by the maharaja of Mysore. We can never forget this Narasimha deva. The temple opens at about 10ish in the morning and it is a blessing to be here. Our next visit was in January 2008 and we went up in the morning at about 11.00 A.M.Proper road has been laid and we went half the way by car and then climbed about 170 steps, still a challenge but we managed with intermittent rests on the steps and had good darsan of Narasimha deva. The aradhakar swami told us about a robbery that took place and we felt that our temples needed more protection. He also told us that he performed pooja at Adivan Satakopans Brindavanam on the banks of Kalyani pushkarni and so his coming up was delayed on some days. It was a nice experience which we cherish .

Pias temple with wonderful feeling after seeing the deity

Good atmosphere. Must visit place. You need to climb appox 150 steps to have the Darshan of Lord Yoga Narasimha.Beware of Monkeys. they are very fond of flowers and they will pick it from ladies head as well.

Lord Yog Narsihmar temple is on the top of the hill and to have His Divine Darshanam one has to cover 365 step from foot of the hill to the sanctrum. In the evening the climbing give a gift of scenic beauty of the nature especially the sunset.

Very nice temple and very powerful god. This is on hill, either you can choose to climb all the steps or go till half way by car and climb remaining steps. For aged persons it will be difficult and need to be careful from monkeys.

Very good Temple of Sri Yoga Narasimha Temple, a must visit Temple. Temple has around 250 steps, but your car can go up to 100 steps point.

Very beautiful place, with scenic view on the way to yoga Narasimha temple. But be aware of driving your vehicle uphill yoga Narasimha temple as the roads are very narrow and often gets Jamed. I would recommend to park the vehicle downhill and take steps as initial steps are easy to climb.

Ancient hindu temple situated on top of hill. Hav to climb stairs for about half hour. Lord vishnu is worshipped here. It is tidious process to climb the stairs, but once u reach the top and in the temple premises, u feel fresh rejoiced. Temple is stone carved, beautiful and cool. There are lots of monkies on the way, so be careful bout ur belongings. I preferred to climb evening time, can enjoy the sunset view also.

It’s a good place for weekend outing with family. It’s just 100km from Bengaluru.

One has to climb about 150 steps to get to the top. The view is good and the weather is also good. Ideal time for visit is between Jun to Jan. Avoid summer time of Jan to May since it will be hot.

Awesome view... This is a narsimha god temple located in Melukote. One can reach easily by 4 wheelers. But at last you have to climb around 150-200 stairs which are no stairs actually, but stones kept one over another. The Temple is aesthtic and scenic beauty here cant be explained. One can sit on the sides for hours watching the natural beauty of this place. Great place to be alone or with friends and family.

A very important Vaishnava temple atop a steep hill. About 365 steps, each for a day of the year to climb. A lot of monkeys around pestering and please dont carry anything in your hand or the monkeys will grab it. The main diety is pious.

This is the famous temple situated in Melukote. We can see this temple in most of the Kannada Films in sunrise scene.. 😀

A wonderful, superb temple. We were planning to visit the Cheluvarayaswamy temple, and as we entered the town we were pleasantly surprised to see this temple on a hill. Immediately made up our mind to visit this temple after visiting Lord cheluvarayaswamy temple.The Lord (Yoga narasimha) is so beautiful on top of the hill.Once you climb the hill you get a good view from the top of the whole area, which is very amazing to look at. The temple tank, and cheluvarayaswamy temple can be seen from the top of the hill.A slightly difficult climb, felt that the distance between the steps were a bit too high, may be older people will find it difficult to climb i feel.But definitely worth a visit and worth a climb too.

Nice place to picnic

Very nice temple, having history related to prahlada Maharaj, also reaching temple give nice experience of climbing mountain

Yoga Narasimhaswami temple is located atop a small Hill, opposite Cheluvarayaswami temple in Melukote. Feels Nice to trek to the place on stone steps, leading to the temple deity. One can also get nice views from a few places along the way.

Good scenic view from the top. Since the lunch time was over, the priest asked us have a meal provided by Temple for 400 rupees. This is total harassment

The temple is at 1777 above sea level 😍

Great temple. Be careful of stairs and monkeys .. great place to be there .

Sacred place... Have to see place in once life time.

Powerful God 🙏 Devine

Its very nice place with peace full temples

Very divine & powerful place!

Melukote Narasimha swamy temple. Temple opens at 10AM.You have to climb big steps to reach temple. Lots of monkeys around to be careful with stuffs

Nice temple. Took about 45mins to 1 hour, including climbing up and down the steps and waiting in the queue at the temple for darshan. On the way we can have some snacks, puliogare, mango, jack fruits etc. you get to see a lot of monkeys here so careful with the eatables. View from the view points are amazing and worth a picture.

Nice and cool temple...

Good

Woohoo, Ive been to MELUKOTE which admires scenic beauty and history.The Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple is a very ancient temple on the top of the hill.Narasimha, a Hindu god, is worshipped in this magnificent shrine. A statue of Narasimha in a sitting posture with the Yogapatta can be found in the temple. The temple is considered one of the seven holy centers dedicated to Narasimha worship. Aside from the regular pujas, the temple conducts special pujas every year to celebrate the Narasimha Jayanthi festival.There are several stories about the shrine. One of the most common legends about the temple is that the deity Narasimhas idol was installed by Prahalada, Hiranyakashapus uncle. The temple is also thought to be mentioned in Vedic literature, which dates back thousands of years.Must visit !!!!

Very good and power full temple in world

Need to climb steep steps to see the Lord.. People say its famous.. So visited the place once

Nice temple...

Beautiful place...

Beautiful place for photography, family enjoyment

Very nice pleasant place, One must visit the temple & gain eligibility for his Blessings.Met a Godly old person who carry filled vessel from hill bottom to the Lotus feet of Swamy at the top (Temple) since past 45 years is enough to realise the presence of Swamy !!!

Very nice place... But it is bit difficult for old people because of steps. Bit careful about monkeys and it would have been great if government or people who visit keep this place clean.

Ancient Sanatana Dharma temple for Lord Narasimha Swamy. As the name itself suggests, this temple is atop a small hill and the whole place is very beautiful. The pooja and other temple related rituals are performed by the temple archaks in a very organized manner. A must visit for tourists and temple enthusiasts

The temple is considered to be one of the seven holy centres devoted to the worship of Narasimha.

Amazing weekend gateway for Bangaloreans and mysureans

Please carry some food to Monkey by this you can have fun with them from this your family and children will feel happy for this .

This one has a good view point at tooand also ut needs to be some improvement

Very good and Peaceful place.

Beautiful temple. We stood in the queue around 11 AM and the temple closed for darshan at the same time. We were standing in the queue for more than an hour at one place. No information was given to visitors.. later we were told that the darshan was stopped for Abhisheka. This is the kind of information we get in these famous temples.

Its a very old temple (more than 1000 yrs old) and needs support from devotees.

Strong vibes in this temple, awe inspiring deity. Only wish temple authorities could enforce SOPs inside. Unhappy only about that.

Its a small uphill climbing to get the wonderful view of the town below.the temple has beautiful entrance tower with many stucco images.There is no sculpture anywhere except the crude door guardians with big shoulders.inner sanctum has massive life size black stone carving of narasimha in the sitting posture though it appears that no body concentrated on proper design and proper look and feel for the same.

One of the most beautiful and scenic places to visit for a two day trip from Bengaluru. The view from the top is breathtaking!

Very devotional place, need cleanliness , organisers must improve the temple , it is a very big temple pl everyone should visit once, surround the temple please avoid cooking

Parking space is good enough for smaller crowds, what do I review a temple? Its obviously Great and well maintained, but the surroundings around the temple are something you shouldnt miss.

Peaceful place to get relaxed. Those who love to visit historical temples its very good place and picnic spot 😍
