Melukote is temple town about 150km away from Bangalore. Melukote is where Sri Ramanujacharya lived for nearly 12 years and helped in spreading Vaishnavism. When Ramanujar arrived from SriRangam in 1000s AD he performed many miracles that the Hoysala King Vishnuvardhan established many temples under His supervision and direction. In this video I take you through prominent temples like Yoga Narasimha temple, Cheluva Narayana Temple, the Kalyani Pushkarani in front of the temple and many spots around Melukote like Raya Gopuram, Akka Thangi Kulam, Dhanushkoti..
