List of Chola temples in Bengaluru

The heartland of the Cholas was the fertile valley of the Kaveri River, but they ruled a significantly larger area at the height of their power, including the present-day Bengaluru.

However Tamil habitation in Karnataka, especially in Mysore district, precedes the Chola period and continued afterwards as well.

The typical Someshwara temple has a lotus pond or a taverekere included.

While the main deity is Nandi, other gods like Brahma and Vishnu are also worshiped here.
