What a beautiful place This is the first place you need to visit before explore the rest of this amazing temple town! The enormity of this will surely awestruck you - it is just a massive place. There are multiple structures within this complex and it would be great to just walk around and explore the area. There are some cool places for pictures out here. Please be sensitive to people around and don't be intrusive! You also get a good luck at the temple on top of the mountain. Take a break and relax at this Kalyani! This place is maintained pretty well and please ensure that you don't litter and leave it that way
Very powerful Holly water (kalyani thirtham) this is pound saptha rishi (eight rishi) done thabas with Pragalath maharaj. This the place where Sri Ramanujar find the Sri ThuruNarayana swamy. There are many ancient scripts talks about this Kalyani Thirtham
It is the biggest kalyani in melukote. Located at the base of yoga Narasimha temple hill . Place is very beautiful and calming. Entirely covered by mantapas .
A pleasant place to be at after visiting temples, you can sit and relax with a nice view.
Such a big pond and neat. Mandapas around the kalyani are awesome Especially dara mandapam. Have a dip and just sit and watch u feel very pleasant. And the view of YOGANARASIMHA SWAMY gopuram which is located on the hill from here is awesome.
It's a fantastic place for a day out. Go with friends and family to a decent destination for a relaxing and refreshing mood.
Melukote Kalyani, also known as the "Pushkarini" or stepped tank, is a historic water reservoir located in Melukote, Karnataka, India. Melukote is a significant pilgrimage town with temples and cultural heritage. The Kalyani holds cultural and historical importance, especially for its architectural and religious significance. The history of Melukote Kalyani dates back several centuries. It was built during the reign of the Hoysala dynasty, which ruled over Karnataka from the 10th to the 14th century. The stepped tank is characterized by its unique design with a series of steps leading down to the water level. Such tanks were commonly built near temples to provide a source of water for religious rituals and the local community. The tank has not only served as a water reservoir but also as a focal point for religious and cultural activities. It has been associated with various festivals and ceremonies held in the nearby Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The tank's architecture showcases the craftsmanship of the Hoysala period and reflects the significance of water management in the region. Throughout its history, the Melukote Kalyani has witnessed changes and renovations, and it continues to be an integral part of the cultural landscape in the area. It stands as a testament to the rich history and heritage of Karnataka.
