Beautiful place on backwaters of krs .. but God is not there . Its good place to visit with family and friends

Photography isnt allowed.. Its a nice view when the water gets filled up

Add this place to must visit when going to mysore.

Very nice and beautiful serene place

Very nice temple. Its more of a tourist attraction than religious feel. It was an old temple submerged in the KRS dam backwaters. However, later this was rejuvenated by Khodays. Now it has a touch of modern look with few temple in the same campus and a replica of the famous Hampi stone chariot.

Beautiful place located on the banks of the river Cauvery. The temple here is said to have been a part of the history. The temple is said to be have been submerged and is being reconstructed. The location is remarkable. Very serene and scenic. The view of sunset from here is really picturesque. Its located in an interior place in Mysore. Youll get to see the typical village life on your way to this temple. Worth visiting.

Best place for weekends!

There is no Venugopal temple in this road!This is wrong direction ...wrong map..

Must visit temple at Mysore

Worst road..worst maintanence...It is closed since lock down. .Please any one dont go.

Amazing place, nature St its best

Its a wonderful place to visit. Very well maintained place. We had packed food from Bangalore itself and it was an awesome experience to eat amidst agriculture field too.

Very nice temple in KRS back water, evening between 4 to 6 is good time to visit.

Modern temple with old sculpture. Place to walk near water and watch sunset, huge area to play as well as to walk and for photos this place is very well known along with that for some Pre-wedding shoots etc. Far from city yet it is a place to watch along with Mysore Sideseen. You can go near to water if the level is low, you can play there also. But, be safe in evening the level may increase sometimes.

A beautiful place to visit. Gives you peace of mind!

Temple looks blissful, every stone has been removed and restructured makes this place Have to visit in the trip list. The shrine is complete with the placement of VenuGopala now.Best for a day visit with lovely scenary of water greenery.Ample parking space, lot of sit outs to enjoy the view only light snacks available. Do taste the candy ice Cream in the hot weather.

Appreciation to the efforts of all involved in shifting the old Temple.Vigilant, noncurrupt, careing security is one more greatness of this venue

Wrong location. The described temple is outside of Mysore. Here is fenced construction site.

Very good location & ambience, Superb & well maintained Temple. Must visit location...

Nice place

Awesome place but the location shared is wrong. It needs to be changed

Nice place. Need to visit at least once. Temple covers with full off mist. Nice feeling

I did not know much about this place, Neither i have heard from anyone. But this place came as surprise end of the trip.Great place to visit. 3 side water and one side temple. I feel it is not commercialized much. Remember, here you dont find priest doing pooja, donation boxes, bells. You cant carry flowers and coconut, It is completely away from all those. Maximum importance has been given here for meditation. Must visit place if you are visiting Mysore and around.

Very beautiful temple, it was submerged in kaveri water earlier and same temple has been placed near the back water of Kaveri river.

Really beautiful..Photography is not allowed inside.

Superb place

On the KRS back waters nice place to visit. Anytime of the year.

Very nice place.. cool atmosphere is very gud

Good place for a evening visit

Beautiful place. All people who are on mysore trip must visit this. Architecture is amazing.

The place is attached to KRS backwater. Evening time it will be very peaceful and calm. Good serenity.

The Venugopala Swamy Temple located at Hosa Kannambadi, near Krishna Raja Sagara, is an example of Hoysala architecture in Karnataka, India. This temple was built in the 12th century AD around the same time as the Chennakesava Temple at Somanathapura, Mysore district.Before the Krishna Raja Sagara dam project was conceived by Sir M.Visvesvaraya in 1909, the temple complex was located in the village of Kannambadi. The KRS Dam project meant that Kannambadi and other surrounding settlements would be submerged. The then king of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IVordered the construction of a new village for the residents of Kannambadi and aptly named it Hosa Kannambadi (New Kannambadi).However, the Venugopala Swamy temple complex and 2 other temples namely Kenneshwara (Ishwara) temple and Kalamma (A local deity) temple had to be abandoned. By 1930, the first phase of the dam was completed and all three temples were submerged.The main idol of Venugopalaswamy, Lord Krishna playing on flute as a cow-herd, was shifted to a new temple in the rehabilitated village before the submersion.The original temple complex was massive, with an area of around 50 acres (20 ha) 100 by 60 yards (91 m × 55 m).The complex was a symmetrical building enclosed by two prakaras and the outer gate (Mahadwara) had verandahs on both sides, flanked by the yagasala and the kitchen. This was enclosed by the second mahadwara, which led to the inner enclosure and was akin to the Somanathapura temple.The temple had a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), a vestibule, a middle hall and a mukhya mantapa (main hall). The cell opposite to the entrance had a figure of Kesava (Lord Krishna) and the south cell, containing the figure of Gopalakrishna, was a later addition.When the KRS dam was conceived in 1909, the temple was condemned for submersion. By 1930, the entire erstwhile village of Kannambadi was completely buried underwater. However, the temple would resurface whenever the water levels in the reservoir dropped, typically during drought years. This was most evident around the year 2000.For more than 70 years the temple lay underwater, when the Khoday Foundation under the guidance of liquor baron and philanthropist Mr. Sri Hari Khoday took up the task of relocating and restoring the temple. It was initially planned to shift the entire complex to Madhuvana Park in Mysore. However, protests from the villagers of Hosa Kannambadi convinced the foundation to shift it to a place near the rehabilitated village. The cost of the project was estimated to be around ₹ 2.5 crore.The new site is about one km to the north of the original site; the backwaters would touch the outer walls of the temple if the water level of the KRS touched 124.80 ft, its maximum capacity.It is 9 km by road from Brindavan Gardens.The in-house architects of the group had shot the original temple on video, taken over 16,000 photographs, and marked each and every slab used in the construction of the original temple. Each and every temple stone was removed and reconstructed at Hosa Kannambadi with trained artisans and sculptors, with half a dozen experts from Tamil Nadu also involved in the reconstruction.As of December 2011, the temple restoration has been completed, but is awaiting an official inauguration. It however has become a tourist hotspot considering its tale of submersion and relocation.

Lost of improvement and work is done as compared to three years ago. Love this place.

I just love this place. Its quite and peaceful. It is located at the backwaters of KRS dam. During sunset the temple looks beautiful. The place is maintained by a private trust, and the maintainance is excellent. Other temple should take this as an example and maintain their temple as well. When the KRS dam was conceived in 1909, the temple was condemned for submersion. By 1930, the entire erstwhile village of Kannambadi was completely buried underwater. For more than 70 years the temple lay underwater, when the Khoday Foundation under the guidance of liquor baron and philanthropist Mr. Sri Hari Khoday took up the task of relocating and restoring the temple. The new site is about one km to the north of the original site; the backwaters would touch the outer walls of the temple if the water level of the KRS touched 124.80 ft, its maximum capacity. It is 9 km by road from Brindavan Gardens. Each and every temple stone was removed and reconstructed at Hosa Kannambadi with trained artisans. As of December 2011, the temple restoration has been completed. As of December 2011, the temple restoration has been completed, but was opened to public on January 2018. A must visit place.
