About Melkote Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple

A sacred Vaishnavite hilltop temple closely associated with Sri Ramanujacharya who lived here for 12 years and transformed it into a major Vaishnava center. The annual Vairamudi Utsava festival, when the deity is adorned with the kingdom's priceless diamond crown jewels, is extraordinary.
