The Srikanteshwara Temple (also called Nanjundeshwara Temple) is an ancient temple in the Hindu pilgrimage town of Nanjangud in the Karnataka state, Southern India. It is known for the ancient temple of the god Srikanteshwara (another name for the god Shiva, also known as ''Nanjundeshwara''). The Srikanteshwara temple is located in the town on the right bank of river Kapila, a tributary of the Kaveri. Nanjangud is also known as "Dakshina Kashi" or "Varanasi/Prayag of South". Nanju in Kannada means poison; the name Nanjundeshwara means the "God who Drank the Poison" (halahala), a word that has its origins in the legend of the Great Churning of the Ocean of Milk; thus the town got the name 'Nanjangud' which means "the abode of the god Nanjundeshwara".〔Architecture of Karnataka#Nanjangud Temple〕〔(Sri Srikanteshwara Temple in Nanjangud.Info )〕〔(Tourism page in Nanjangud Town Municipal Council )〕 The "Dodda Jaathre" festival at Nanjangud by temple attracts thousands of devotees. The festivities in the fair includes five colorful chariots that are pulled by devotees on a path called the ''ratha beedi''. ==Gallery== File:View of gopura from inside the Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|View of gopura from inside the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Large pillared mantapa with sala towers in the Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|Large pillared mantapa with sala towers in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Open mantapa with sala roofs in the Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|Open mantapa with sala roofs in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Yali pillars in the mahadwara (entrance) of Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|Yali pillars in the mahadwara in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Pillared entrance into the Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.jpg|Pillared entrance in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Kannada inscription (1517 AD) in the Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud.JPG|Kannada inscription (1517 AD) of King Krishnadevaraya's father-in-law in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 6.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Ganesha relief sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud.JPG|Ganesha sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 7.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 4.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 5.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 2.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Deity sculpture in Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud 3.JPG|Deity sculpture in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Decorative pillars near the sanctum of Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud.JPG|Decorative pillars in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Close up view of pillars at the entrance to Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|Close up view of pillars at the entrance in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud File:Close up view of sala tower over mantapa in Srikanteshwara temple complex at Nanjangud.JPG|Close up view of sala tower over mantapa in the Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Srikanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
