Karighatta Hill is a place, which is very near to the city of Mysore at a distance of about 20 kms, located in Shrirangapatna town. A branch of river Cauvery flows down to join the other branch near “Sangam”.

Here the River Lokapavani, a tributary of Cauvery joins Cauvery near this hill. On the opposite bank of the river there is also a famous temple of Nimishamba.

The deity of the temple, which is on the hill “Karighatta”, is Lord Srinivasa, called as Karigirivasa. Every year there is a big fair and thousands of people visit here and after having a dip in the river offer their prayers to the deity.  

One can reach this place either by bus (Arkere-Bannoor) route or by your own vehicle.
