One of the rare temples to be dedicated to the Pandavas, the Dharmaraya Swamy Temple is known to be around 800 years old. A colourful gopuram invites you in. Inside, you can discover the architectural touches left by the Gangas and Pallava dynasties along with the Vijayanagara Empire. The temple, which stands in the Pete area, is said to have been a favourite with Kempe Gowda. These days, the temple is famous for its annual karaga festival that honours Draupadi. Spread across eleven days, the highlight of the festival is the colourful procession (karaga) that happens on the ninth day.
