- Tell us about this temple
One of the most beautiful places in the state of Karnataka is the region that surrounds the Mavinakere Sri Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy temple in the Hassan district. Situated atop a small hill, the temple overlooks the surrounding countryside and lush greenery so that the visitors to the temple also get a breath-taking view from the top of the hill. Natural tumbling boulders and verdant greenery make the Hassan district in Karnataka particularly beautiful. The walkway to reach the top of the hill is shielded from the harsh sun by evergreen trees and lined with lush undergrowth, offering a sheltered and carpeted walkway to the pilgrims. The view from a top the hill offers the surrounding rich paddy fields that are a feast to the eyes. The three ponds that feed the temple and the surrounding areas add to the appeal of the region. The Sri Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy temple in Mavinakere is situated on the banks of the Hemavathi River. The village Mavinakere and the fort are said to be the residence of Palegar Lakshmana Nayaka. The Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy temple is atop the hill while Govindarajaswamy temple and Padmavathi temple are below.
