Very silent and peaceful place it is, the giant Nandi statue is located in the jungle of Chamundi hills. This is one of the sacred hills in India. The view from here is magnificent and you can see the entire Mysore city.

Attractive and cool place, early morning will be the best time to visit.

Excellent place.. located near by f Chamundi temple.. while going down from f Chamundi temple.. the nandi temple comes between.. must visited sport... nice very very huge nandi ji is crafted dutifully..

Peaceful temple, also outside the temple easily availablity of food items

I took the steps on a hot sunny day and it was tiring but I enjoyed the workout. It was on a Sunday & I started around 12 PM. People: pilgrims/tourists like any other tourist spot crowds here and throw garbage/plastics (lays packets, ice cream covers, cups, etc.) leaving traces of their presence which I felt very bad. However I wish theyre more eco conscious, hope this happens with time. Otherwise, road route is more pristine is what I felt with good view points.

The giant Nandi is situated on the top of the Chamundi hills view with a fantastic view of the Mysore city.About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, is the third largest monolithic Nandi statue in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore.

It is a very special place. I am very happy to to visit this place. big Nandi Idol is soo beautiful

The place is very calm and it is right below the Chamundi temple very few minutes distance.may be upto 2kms. Maintained very well and be aware of monkeys when carrying eatables.

Chamundi Hill Road, Mysuru. Also known as the Nandidurg or Nandi Betta, this is a popular hill fortress in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka. The name of the hills has been derived from the Dravidian temples dedicated to Nandi, the mount of Lord Shiva.

Beautiful monolithic huge Nandi temple. Not to be missed. Very pleasant and peaceful.

The temple is situated on hills. The roads are very nice and one can see many view points on the way. Its a peaceful and serene place. There is a cave temple just besides this which you can visit as well.

Big statue of Nandi ...on the way to return from Chamandi hills you can visit. Very good view of Maysore city nearby

Amazing place. Where there is a huge nandi statue. The god shivas pet nandhi and vehicle

This is an open to air temple dedicated to Nandi (Indian bull). You will come across this temple at 700th step if you are climbing the hill through steps. And if you are coming by vehicle then you need to take a small detour to the right side road in the intersection near Telescope view point. Straight route will lead to main temple.

It is an good place for visiting . And the architecture around Mysore is really nice and i think this is an compulsory visiting place

This small temple is on the way to the steps-trail of Chamundi temple. The place is nice and calm. A great idol of the Nandi is a sight to behold. This is one of the many things to do when in Mysore. The Nandi idol is one of its kind.

Very calm and secluded place.

Very small temple, mostly just the Nandi shrine...

Nice environment good place for peaceful devotion...

Big ball welcome to Mysore first scene Chamundi hill then next come to big bol l

The place is very cool and calm..located between chamundi hills.Within some distance to this place there is a view point, from the hill in which one can see whole mysore city.P.s: careful about your belongings theres a lot of monkeys.

Awesome place to visit with your family 👌🏽👌🏽

Beautiful temple on Chamundi Hill, must visit.

Very peaceful and spiritual place

This place can be found when climbing the steps of chamundi hill to visit the goddess sri Chamundeshwari.A beautiful nandi statue place amidst among greenery is a must visit.

My home lord love you basava

Nice place and from here you can see whole Mysore city...

Very nice & big nandi stone

So much peace, so many monkeys!Its been here from ages and from my childhood, its been a very sacred place to visit.

Awesome temple at the hill topIts nearby from Chamundi hillsIts just 1km away from hills.The Nandi stone is very beautifully carvedIts one of the oldest NandiReally loved the carving over there.Youll get kai karpura for pooja tooThis place is good for photography as wellWhen you visit Chamundi hills, you must visit this place as its on the way.Parking is not much available when too many vehicles arrive.We had been during December so there was not much crowd over there.So we got good parking.Visit during proper climate, avoid going over here during rainy season

A really wonderful carving this one, this is a monolith, meaning its carved out of a single stone & also it is over 350 years.This is a must visit place, while around Mysore especially while visiting the Chamundi hill.

Excellent view. Almost 100 years old temple with shiva temple beside. Be aware of monkeys though. Good place to find peace. Evenings are very beautiful.

This temple is located about midway along the pathway from the base of Chamundi Hills to the summit where the Shree Chamundeshwari Temple is located. The path is entirely made up of steps believed to be 1008 in number.The statue of Nandi (the bull), who folklore says is the vehicle of Lord Shiva, is one of the five largest Monolithic Nandi statues in India.Daily poojas are conducted, though for most people, it is just a stop for selfies en route to the temple at the summit.The statue was commissioned about 350 years ago, by the then ruler of Mysore.

Lovely place to visit. On must visit on the way to chamundeswari temple. Its the only Bull facing to south. Heading towards the Nanjanagudu Sri kanteshwara Swamy. As usual all the Nandi facing to lord Shiva towards north symbolises the Himalayas where lord shiva resides.

Spectacular Nandi, one of the biggest I have ever seen.

Nice divine place in Chamundi hill

Good.we can go either by steps or vehicle.if we are going through steps we should go bit early in the morning.evening it will be too dark to come back by steps after 7:00.as their is lights put up.Some stalls are there.we should take steps to reach the view point.view point is awesome at night.you can see the whole Mysore city lit up by light.

A well maintained and huge nandi carved out of a single stone

Nandi is at Chamundi hill, beautiful Big Nandi Idol. Hindhu worship God, in that place we can see Mysore top view.

Majestic Nandi sculpture approx 16x25 feet dated back to 16th century. Located on top of the chamumdi hills.

Home God. Most lovable place in chamundi hills. There is a another step way to the Nandhi which is around 2 km or 5000 steps from Chamundi hills. Previously Nandhi was on black color but its changed to white which was the actual color of the god. Flower decoration to Entire nandhi is the biggest task till today.

Nice place to synchronize and channel with Nandis energy. A place to pray and meditate!

Big idol of nandi, Awesome view near chamunda hills, a race course could also be seen from hills

Very nice place

Sri Nandi Temple is a very spectacular and divine temple...with its huge and mighty Lord Nandi Statue...😄 It is one of the must visit places in Mysore....If you have gone to see the Chamundeshwari Temple then in the way back you must never miss to see the Sri Nandi Temple as well...😄🌿

Big Nandu in the middle of hill or near the hill. You can see also small cave temple behind nandi..

Great temple but to much steps to go down over here.Not meant for old people ,they need to go by own car.A great huge nandi temple is there as shown in picture. Also the mandir very clean.But they should place some instruction boards in english and hindi so that people visiting from other states can understand it.The people in karnataka dont speak in hindi even when they know it.Only some people are helpful.Pls do visit this temple its very beautiful u will enjoy going by steps down to this temple.

The 201 bus takes you out of Mysore and up to this hilltop .Theres steps that take you down and to a Giant Nandi . The views of Mysore from here are lovely . Fresh air and quietness.You can see entire Mysore from here.its just amazing.

7.3 x 4.6 metre Seated Bull Statue - Crafted from a Single Boulder -Our group of four, touring Mysuru, visited the famed Nandi Temple located in Chamundi Hill in Mysore, on 15th December 2018. After parking our vehicle, we walked up about 50 metres to reach Nandi statue. On either side of the road are little shops selling souvenirs as well as flowers and other items for offer to the revered statue. There is no charge to visit this attraction. Footwear, however need to be removed as is customary before entry into any local temple.According to our guide, Joseph, this monolithic statue, meaning that it had been crafted and sculpted from a single boulder, is over 350 years old. It sits, by the side of the road on a 4 foot (1.2m) high rectangular platform. It is quite massive, said to measure 24 feet (7.3m) in length and 15 feet (4.6m) in height. It sits in open air with no overhead covering. The statue is beautifully and artfully crafted in sitting position. Crafted with the left foreleg folded, the sculptor conveys the feeling that it is about to get up. With the ears folded back, the facial expression is one of rapt attention. Carefully and masterfully carved garlands of bells, strings, chains etc adorn its neck.I walked around the statue enjoying its beauty and marvelling the patience and mastery of the sculptor. There is a platform in front of the statue, with a bench, where I sat on looking at it for some time. Nandi is revered by Hindus as it is the vehicle of the most honoured god “Shiva”.We spent about 45 minutes here and left after recovering our footwear.

Nice place to visit. Full of greenery

You are blessed to have visited this place🧡🙏.

This is a on a chamundi hill ,and here reach to this statute is between a 700 to 800 steps from chamundi temple and bus facility is also avilable...is a super natural place...from hill side....

The place is very near to Chamunda Devi temple. It has got a big Nandi statue. photography point view and it is allowed to take snaps. Lot of devotees and tourists visit this place. it will be interesting to hear the story of this Bull if you take a good Guide.

We have a lovely time here with family and friends.

A single granite Nandi with 15 feet height and 25 feet long built some 400 years back. Due to oil, milk and other items used for bathing the statue turned black. In recent years after cleaning it is white in color again.

Wonderful temple i luv it.

This famous Nandi temple is located on top of Chamundi hills.There is a huge and beautiful idol of Nandi bull Lord Shivas Vahana. It is worth the visit. Very Beautiful.

Monolithic stone of Nandi

So nicely carved out....As if a real Bull is sitting over there...👌🙏

Awesome place to visit

On the way back from Chamundi hill about two kms there is a big Nandi statue. You will see the direction hoarding on the left. Just follow the direction and in between you see the view point for Arial view of Mysore city. It was awesome.

Nandi statue at Chamundi hills is the 3rd biggest monolithic Nandi in India. Recently, Nandi has been thoroughly washed. It is white now and looks marvellous with coloured flower decorations.It an experience to climb 1008 steps to Chamundi hills. Nandi statue is on the way to Chamundi hills by steps.

The Nandi sculpture is one of the major tourist attractions of Chamundi Hills in Mysore. The Nandi was constructed during the time of Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659 - 1673), the Maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. This beautiful icon of Nandi is situated half-way up to the summit of Chamundi Hills. The bull sits on a higher platform and is an active temple where the priest performs religious rituals on a daily basis. Interestingly, it is also one of the largest Nandi statues in India. 🙏🙏🙏

Huge Nandi its about sixteen feet high,

Best Sculpture Of Nandi

It is near chamundi hills in the middle of the hill. Nice place to visit both hill and cave Shiva temple.

Bull statue looks amazing. There is enough parking space. No ticket required. You need to remove shoes to enter the area. However if you would like to take picture, it can be done from outside. You must visit the place to experience this giant Bull statue.

This city and its environment makes anyone love this place

Super place,good for all people.

Good place

Huge nandi temple on the way to chamundi Devi hill.road is closed to the nandi..if you are walking from the road...the distance is about 1 mile.... where as if you take the other route (by steps) from the chamundi Devi temple..its easy just 300 steps one way...very near to nandi temple is cave Shiva temple... worth visiting once....

On the way to Chamundi Hill via footsteps, very serene place, monolithic statue of the Bull is very attractive, view point from this place is awesome.

From Shree Chamundesawri temple we need to take steps towards down the hill to reach this place. Seems, it is built it with single rock, nice place. If you visit Shree Chamundeswari Temple you should visit this place.

Nandi of MysoreThis giant image of Nandi (Bull) is located at the top of Chamundi hills in Mysore. More than 350 years old, this is one of the oldest icons in Mysore.According to Hindu mythology Nandi is considered as the vehicle (mount) of Lord Shiva, the lord of destruction. In front of every Shiva temple, on the court facing the shrine, you can see the image of a Nandi.About 16 feet in height and 24 feet long, this Nandi atop the Chamundi Hills is the third largest in India. The creation of this colossal image is attributed to Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar (1659–1673) on of the illustrious Maharajas of Mysore. It is the same maharaja who also commissioned the 1000 stepped stairway to the hilltop.Originally this was a colossal boulder. The image of the Nandi was carved out of this boulder in situ. When you visit this Nandi just look around to see similar boulders around this site. In fact right behind the Nandi image is small cave temple under an overhanging boulder dedicated to Shiva. These boulders are painted with white and ochre stripes.The Nandi is portrayed in sitting position with its left foreleg folded in an about to get up posture. While the image is in great proportions, the finer details are executed equally brilliant. You can see many sequences of bells and garlands dexterously carved over the Nandi. With his ears pointed in rapt attention, the expression on the face is something not to be missed. The whole image sits on a 4 feet or so heigh platform.

Its a small temple with a great statue of goddess cow mata

This is the guardian Nandi for all those who come via stairs and go into stairs to see the Goddess Sri Chamundeshwari. From here the steps are easy to climb... U can come he by ur vehicle also... It has d best sunset point. U can find me here at most of the sunset 😁😁😜

The place is located near to Chamunda hills temple.The road is single lane.There is one CAVE SHIVA TEMPLE adjacent to Nandi temple.The NANDI TEMPLE is also known as THE BULL TEMPLE. The temple has one of biggest odol of the lord NANDI in all India.

Its an old statue of Nandi Bull , From Chamundi hill we can come by steps also. hardly 100 steps. Around the temple good. Nature is there. Very important thing is dont forget to visit the Cave temple next to statue, also we cam meet Sadus in cave and take blessings.
