Aprameya Swamy (Ramaprameya) is form of Lord Vishnu is made of Saligrama stone. The Lord stands erect with the Shanku & Chakra in the upper two hands and Padma & Gadha in the lower hands. Other prominent idol in the temple is of Ambegallu Navneetha Krishna (The crawling baby Krishna with a ball of butter in hand).It is believed that childless couples are blessed with a progeny, if they worship this diety with sincerity.

The speciality of this temple is that you can find an idol of a crawling baby Krishna here. Did you also know that this idol inspired the writer purandarasa to write a famous song “jagadodharana adisidalu yashodha” . They serve Prasadam on weekends and public holidays only. There is also a belief that barren women are blessed with children if they pray to this Krishna. A must visit place .

The main deity is Aprameya (Sri Krishna). Also in the sanctum are Goddess Lakshmi and Ambegalu (crawling) Krishna. It is a very old temple and has beautiful architecture. The Gopuram here is mesmerizing. The temple is located in Bangalore - Mysore Highway near Channapatna, 7-8 km from Abbur mutt. The temple can be easily located on Google. Parking space is available.

temple is the idol of the Crawling Krishna called as the Ambegal Krishna . Its mesmerizing eyes and with butter in the hands elicit the maternal sentiment in you. This temple is also called as the Navneeta Temple. It is said that huge offerings of silver cradles are done by the childless devotees after getting blessed with a child by the grace and blessings of Lord Krishna.During celebrations a small replica of the main idol is taken on a chariot and there are processions that take place. Thus with such glorious history and extraordinary architecture is a certain monument to visit. Sri Aprameya swamy Temple is a very ancient structure. Some historians date it back 3000 years, but local historic documents date it not less than 1500 years. There is evidence that this temple existed even before Lord Ramanuja’ s Digvijayam in Karnataka and it will not be a surprise if it was built much before Lord Ramanuja’ s Birth. There is a written document preserved to date, which mentions the Kainkaryam of lighting Nanda Deepam to Lord Aprameya in the year 980. This is a proof of the temple's existence in that period. Legend has it that Lord Rama stayed here, in Dakshina Ayodhya, for many years and during this time, he worshipped Lord Aprameya. Hence Lord Aprameya is also known as Sriramaprameya. Lord Rama also performed Homams and other rituals in this place and even to this day, there are remnants of the structures where he conducted the Yagnams. In kshetram Mahatmiyam Kandam of Brahmanda Purana there is a description of Lord Aprameya in twelve chapters. The specialty of the temple is it is standing on sand and not on any solid foundation. It appears from the style of construction of the temple, that it was expanded during the regimes of certain kings who ruled Mallur in the past. Standing outside the temple, one can see the towering and beautiful Raja Gopuram. Built in the Dravidian architectural style, one finds sculptures from the Dasa Avataram adorning the side walls (Madal) of the Raja Gopuram. The Maha Dwaram is 30 feet high. Opposite the Maha Dwaram is the tall Deepa Sthambam made from a single stone, which vies with the Maha Dwaram in height, at 30 feet. During Bramhotsavam days pilgrims are provided breakfast, lunch and dinner FREE of charge.
