Talakadu Shri Vaidhyanatheshwara Temple - History details

Located near Mysuru on the Kaveri’s sandy banks, this 10th–14th‑century Shiva temple forms part of Talakadu’s historic group built by Ganga, Chola and Hoysala dynasties. Surrounded by shifting sand dunes tied to the legendary curse of Queen Alamelamma, it hosts the rare Panchalinga Darshana once every 12 years. The site mixes archaeology, mythology and riverine geography.
