Sri Venugopala Swamy Temple In KRS Backwaters

Even as monsoon continues unabated in the State filling dams and reservoirs, the visitors are flocking the tourist destinations to witness natue’s bounty and water spectacle.

Major attraction is that restored 700-year-old Sri Venugopala Swamy temple at the backwaters of KRS near Hosa Kannambadi village.

The clean serene surroundings and the picturesque ambience is drawing huge crowds and nearly 15,000 people visited the temple on Sunday. The temple is located in a vast area which also has Hoysala-type architecture stone chariot and other attractions.

Since the reservoir has reached the maximum level of 124.80 feet, the backwater touches the outer walls of Sri Venugopala Swamy temple. The whole place has been fully secured keeping in mind the tourist safety. The temple is not only a pilgrimage shrine but a tourist attraction too, though devotees are not allowed to offer coconuts and flowers. In fact, the temple does not even have a hundi (donation box) for offerings. The temple is yet to be formally inaugurated.
