Tirumakudal Narasipura, Mysuru district, Karnataka · 12.2100°, 76.9060°
A 16th-century Vaishnava temple of the Vijayanagara period at the confluence town of T. Narasipura, with a gopura over its gate and a four-pillared mantapa. It was maintained by annual grants from the Dalavoys of Mysore, repaired under the British Raj according to B. Lewis Rice, and is now an ASI-protected monument.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
It is said locally that the place outweighs Kashi in sanctity by the weight of a single gunja berry, the berry of the tree at the temple entrance from which the deity takes his name.
