Also known as Varahaswamy temple, Shree Shvetha Varaha Swamy Temple is among the most religiously significant Mysore tourist places and portrays a fine example of Hoysala style of architecture. As you walk in, it is impossible to not notice the intricately carved doorway and fascinating pillars around the Goddess’ shrine. There are also several brilliant mural paintings on the walls of the Navaranga, most of which depict the life of Lord Krishna as well as the two famous Hindu mythologies, Ramayana and the Bhagavata. There are several inscriptions on the pedestals, including the one that commemorates its donor, Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar.
Great stone built temple. The mysore place has 4 temples on all the 4 sides.
Very old temple inside the palace complex. With the lights, very beautiful.

One of the rare Varaha swamy temple
It looks very beautiful from the outside. Peaceful place.
A must visit old temple having all the powers! It is in the premises of the palace. So, request the sentries at the gate to go directly to the temple else one would get confused with the palace visiting crowd.Better to go with a good pair of socks during hot days, as one has to leave shoes at the entrance gate. The temple complex is quite large and has old stone flooring.
Best forever
Amazing temple
What ever our desire will be fulfilled by godess Ambuja walli with sincere devotion unmarried girls who wish to marry ,not getting proper match if u pray especially Friday evening dafinite success.
I never hated this famous temple situated at the south entrance gate of mysore Palace. At present no photos with me.This is the great old temple built by the then maharajas. Entrance is free. In the temple main temple is of Sri sweta varaha swamy and second one Sri Sri mahalakshmi. It works between 6 am to 12 noon and 4pm to 7pm
Has got history with mysore and srimushnam in TN very good temple taken over by govt! and the poojaries conduct the activity with minimum time! Most of the day it is closed! No pooja is done for the devotees! Only the daily minimum pooja to the god is performed and closed!!The temple is very well located at the south entrance of the MYSORE palace.
Spirituality and peaceful ambiance makes it a great temple to visit. Highly satisfying with some unforgettable moments. Strongly recommend to visit.
I love all the religious places and this is also one of them, I feel very positive and productive after a visit to this temple.

Beautifull Gopuram temple of Shri Varahaswamy (Shri Vishnu Dashavatara) rare ,very few temple found throughout india.statue is white marble , same white marble satue is also in Pushkar,ajmer,rajasthan.
Amazing structure. Need wide eye to capture
When we Entered in the South Gate we saw the right side a beautiful Swetha Varaha Swamy Temple, This Temple Maintained cleanliness well, this is the famous temple, on festival days this will decorate very icelly looks beautiful.
Mysore Palace is a grand structure, but not the first palace to exist in this location. The earliest palace was built on this spot in the 14th century by King Yaduraya. The interior of the palace is breathtaking and worth a visit for its spacious halls, paintings, and architectural beauty.Useful info-Palace lighting everyday from 7 pm to 7.30 pm. tickets for adults are priced at INR 40 each, children @ INR 25 each aged between 7 and 12 years. A braille guide also available for visually challenged tourists.

Mysore palace nalliro prati ondu temple Ella very famous, adarali varaha swamy temple kuda ondu
This temple is very oldest temple. We know about lord vishnu dasha avathara means 10 avatharas. In that one avathara is sri varaha swamy one who wants boomi means land they should definitely come here on varaha swamy jayanthi and take nice Darsham and blessings. That day will come in the month of between April and may. On varaha swamy jayanthi Early morning do pooja at home and come without wearing a foot. Because varaha means bhoomi so only we should not wear foot and irrespect to bhoomi. Definitely i will follow this on this day you also follow it. You come here and dont bring any pooja items only you have to bring five types of under growen vegetables means inside growen give it to lord sri varaha swamy and take blessings. on that day you will have special pooja you please participate in that and take positive energy. Only on that day the temple offers annaprasadam after pooja wait and take prasadam and come back. You have lot of buses from bangalore city to mysore city 24hours. You have trains also from bangalore city railway station to mysore city railway station. You have lot of lodeges around mysore city to take halt. You have lot of hotels and restaurants.
