The Vijayanarayana Temple is located in the town of Gundlupet of Chamarajanagar district, Karnataka state, India.

Tradition has it that the Hoysala Empire King Vishnuvardhana was responsible for the consecration of the deity Vijayanarayana, a version of the Hindu god Narayana (or Vishnu).

The open mantapa that has several ornate pillars appears to have modified the original north–south entrances that existed in the navaranga (also called mukhamantapa).

[1] The entrance to temple has an impressive row of yali pillars that depict warriors riding lions.

The temple has numerous independent sculptures including Anantha, Garuda, and Hanuman, the monkey god from the Hindu epic Ramayana.
