Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple
This ancient temple is the town’s main attraction and a significant pilgrimage site for Vaishnavites. It is known for its stunning architecture and intricate carvings. The temple houses the idol of Lord Cheluvanarayana Swamy, believed to be a form of Lord Vishnu. The temple is especially vibrant during the annual Vairamudi Festival.
Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple
Perched atop a hill, this temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. A climb of about 300 steps rewards you with spiritual solace and panoramic views.
Raya Gopura
This impressive yet unfinished structure was intended to be a grand entrance to a temple. Its massive pillars and intricate carvings are a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Hoysala era.
Akhilandeshwari Temple
Located close to the main temple, this lesser-known shrine is dedicated to the goddess Akhilandeshwari. It is a lovely spot for those interested in exploring the spiritual side of Melkote.
Melkote Wildlife Sanctuary

The town is known for its traditional hand-woven silk and cotton fabrics, which make for perfect gifts or keepsakes.
