Mukthanatheswara Temple, Binnamangala, Karnataka..



Sri Mukthanatheswara Temple, Binnamangala, Karnataka..
.
Binnamangala near Bangalore has a Chola temple dedicated to Lord Mukthanatheshwara. This temple was constructed by Raja Rajendra Chola in the 10 th century AD.

This wonderful ancient temple was recently renovated by the ASI with the help of the locals and the deity is being worshiped since then. As some parts of the temple were badly damaged , they had to be replaced by new stones and the work is no match to the original work.

There is an inscription stone (written in Tamil) in front of the temple giving the information about the temple. There is also a sculpture of the king Rajendra Chola besides a tall pillar.
