Sri Chamundeshwari Temple

There are some festivals and ceremonies which are celebrated with fervor in the temple.

A 10 daylong Dasara or Dussera festival is celebrated during which special prayers are offered to the Goddess. The Vedas are chanted in the temple and various music performances are held here. After Dasara, on the auspicious Ashwayuja Pournime, a Rathotsava or car festival is conducted during the Jathra or annual festival on top of the hill. Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar gifted the temple with a large wooden chariot known as the Simha Vahana, which is used during the Rathotsava festival.  This is followed by Theppotsava (floating festival) that is held in the night. All these festivities attract devotees by the thousands.
