Sri VenuGopala Swany Temple in Gopasandra (Village), Oolvadi (Post), Chintamani is dedicated to Sri Krishna with Venu—the flute. Its story is a journey of devotion and the aspiration to build a welcoming space for prayer.
Sri Krishna and the Venu
Venu means flute. Krishna with his flute is a beloved form of the Lord, inspiring devotion, love and peace. At the heart of this temple is that invitation to pause, offer prayers and draw closer to Sri Krishna.
A temple taking shape
Our temple is under construction. As the work moves forward, this website will share confirmed milestones and photographs so devotees can follow the journey from its present stage toward completion.
Devotion and community
We invite devotees and well-wishers to be part of this journey through prayer, encouragement and support for the temple construction. Each contribution is an expression of care for a sacred space that we hope will serve the community for generations.
Our vision
Our vision is a welcoming temple where devotees can worship Sri Krishna with Venu, find moments of peace and come together in devotion. We look forward to sharing the next chapters as the temple takes shape.
Historical account and sources
A third-party directory lists Sri Venugopala Krishna Swamy Temple at Gopasandra, Oolavadi Post, Chintamani, PIN 563125. The matching address suggests it refers to this temple, although the official name should be confirmed by the temple administration.
The directory describes the temple as old and attributes its construction to the Cholas. This is an unverified directory claim: no dated inscription, archaeological report or temple-issued record confirming the dynasty or age has been obtained. It should not be treated as an established founding history.
The founding year, founders, original consecration, earlier renovations and festival history are not yet documented here. A complete account requires temple records, inscriptions and an approved account from the priest or village elders. Oral traditions can be included with their source clearly identified.
