Chamundeshwari is a Hindu goddess worshipped primarily in the Indian state of Karnataka. She is considered a fierce form of the goddess Durga and is known for her role in defeating the buffalo demon Mahishasura. The famous Chamundi Hill near Mysore is home to the Chamundeshwari Temple, which attracts thousands of devotees each year. The temple, situated at an elevation of about 1,000 meters, features a grand entrance and a statue of the goddess. Pilgrims often climb the 1,000 steps leading to the temple, seeking blessings and spiritual fulfillment. The annual Chamundeshwari Jatra festival celebrates her significance and draws large crowds.
