Mysore chamundeshwari Temple History:
Mahishasura, a monster with the head of a buffalo, was the demon king of Mysore. So, this place became known as Mahishuru, the city of the demon Mahisha. When the gods and goddesses asked Goddess Parvathi, who was married to Lord Siva, to save them from the monster, she became Chamundeshwari and killed it. After killing the demon, the Goddess moved to the top of the Chamundi Hills, where she is revered and worshipped. She is also called Mahishasura Mardini, which means “She who killed Mahishasura.”
Lakshmi Narayana Swamy and Mahabaleswara also have their own temples. The oldest temple on the hill is the Sri Mahabaleswara temple. This holy temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva in the form of a ‘Linga’. It was built before the Hoysala dynasty took over. In writing, this place is called Mabhala or Mabbala theertha, and Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana gave money to this temple in 1128 A.D.
