Continue to Chamundi Hill to visit the ancient Chamundeshwari Temple, dedicated to the fierce goddess Chamundi, an avatar of Goddess Durga. Built in the 17th century during the Vijayanagar Empire, the temple is perched atop the hill, offering panoramic views of Mysore and the surrounding countryside.
