CitrusMelukote
Early in twelfth century, the great Srivaishnava saint Sri Ramanujacharya took up his residence and lived here for about 14 years . It thus became a prominent centre of the Srivaishnava sect of Brahmins, who obtained from the Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana, who had become a follower of the Acharya, an assignment of the fertile tracts of land in the neighbourhood, especially of the Ashta Gramas, on either bank of the Cauvery. The temple is beautiful and the climb up offers you a fantastic view of the cauvery valley behind. The prashadham of puliyogare (tamarind rice) is famous and delicious, not to be missed!However steer away from the pesky goats that make a grab for the same!
So many lakes once you take a detour from the Mysore Road towards Melukote, you can literally walk into the lakes. (Chk photos)
