Himavad Gopalaswamy Temple- Overview

Himavad Gopalaswamy hill is located in Chamarajanagar district which is about 75 km from Mysore. On the top of the hill is a temple of Lord Venugopala Swamy which was built seven centuries ago and a Yatri Bungalow which is still closed and belonged to the ruler of Mysore. Himavad Gopalaswamy Temple was built during the Chola rule and has 25 shrines called Chakra shrines.

Himavad (fog/mist) is so called because for most of the year, a blanket of mist envelops the entire region, and the wind blowing through the trees is like a song in praise of the Lord. Staying after 5:30 PM is not allowed in this area. These hills are covered with grass and classified as shola forests.
