Temples of Talakadu, Karnataka:Sri Keerthi Narayana temple, dedicated to the Lord VishnuRaghavanGiven its architectural beauty, ASI has taken over possession of the temple. Every morning, much before thepriest makes his way to the temple, an ASI staffer cleans the entire temple complex.In the 2nd half of the previous century, full time pooja had been closed at the temple for 2-3 decades withexcavation work by the ASI. Only this decade, the Moolasthanam was fully renovated and devotees are nowable to have darshan of the standing Moolavar Lord flanked by Sri and Bhoo Devi Thayar. Recently, thetemple has been attached to the nearby Vaidhanathan temple, a Saivite temple that is quite popular in theregion and whose finances are much better. With this recent development, the Bhattachar is hoping that areasonable salary in line with the current cost of living will be paid to him.The madapalli and the utsava vahana mandapam need some improvement. There are also no toilets aroundthe temple complex. This too has to be built. The priest is hoping that these can be undertaken with supportfrom devotees. Vedanta Desikar is also said to have visited this temple during his trip to Karnataka.Festivals:Mesha Chitrai – TheerthavariMesha Uthiram – Brahmma RathamRatha Saptami, Karthigai are celebrated in a grand way at this temple. There are festivals all through theyear. Temple is open from 10am till 530pm ( till 630pm/7pm on the weekend).

Over the last decade,public bus services have seen an improvement in Karnataka. Almost all the historic temples are wellconnected by road. While the road from Mysore via T. Narasingapur was the more popular route toTalakadu, the Karnataka Government has developed the highway from Maddur to Malavalli into a top roadand increased the frequency of buses. From Malavalli, there are share autos/taxis at frequent intervals toTalakadu as well as buses starting 7am. Talakadu is 50kms from Maddur via Malavalli.
