“Nimisha” means a minute, and the presiding goddess of this temple is believed to grant your wish in a minute. Nimishamba is none other than Goddess Parvathi, consort of Lord Shiva. This temple is situated on the bank of Cauvery River in Ganjam. On the other bank is the Karighatta hill. Nimishamba temple is 2 Km from Srirangapatna and 17 Km from Mysore.
The idol of the goddess and the shree chakra is carved out of black stone. Another shrine next to Nimishamba is dedicated to Lord Moukthikeshwara/Shiva. Mummadi Krishanaraja Wodeyar, king of Mysore, built the temple around 400 years ago. People from all over come here to have a darshan/blessings of the goddess and spend time near the river. Lemon garlands and lemon is offered to the goddess. Few lemons are returned back to the devotee and this is kept in the Pooja room in their house and worshipped for few days and then immersed in either a well or river. Devotees also offer Sarees along with blouse piece and Bangles to the goddess.
On Fridays, Varamahalakshmi festival and Durgashtami during Dasara people flock to this temple to offer prayers. Fresh vegetables, fruits are sold on the banks of the river.

It is very nice temple. As the name suggests, Devi is really kind enough to grant wish in a minute provided how genuine the request is….
Yes Lakshmi, the Devi lives up to her name. Thanks for visiting.
JAI NIMISHAMBHA,
Iam a devotee of the DEVI, she is so calm and gorgeous sitting next ot River Cauvery with her Powerful Blessings.
My problems were solved on regular visit and prayers.
Hi Shashi,
Yes the devi is extremely powerful and kind. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Shantha,
I have lot of diffculties in getting a child. I want to come there and offer prayers. Is there any particular way of offering prayers for this?
Regards,
Hosathana
Dear Vinutha, I really do not know any special pooja that can be offered in this temple. But, I have seen people take lemons and get it blessed. These they take it home and keep in the pooja room and worship it for few days and later put them in well or river. Another place that I would like to suggest for you to visit is Mallur Navaneeta Krishna temple, here childless couples pray for a child and when this wish is fulfilled they go back to the temple and offer a small cradle as part of thanksgiving. Please check… Read more »
Hi Shantha,
I too have lots of problems in getting a baby. Have remained childless.. Please suggest me any mantras for that.
Thanks,
Mrudula.
Dear Mrudula,
I am sorry but I am not aware of any mantras for conceiving. Please do not worry…have faith in god..and I hope and pray that you and Vinutha are blessed with children.
I can only suggest that you too visit Mallur and offer prayers.
Take care,
With best wishes,
Shantha

Sir,I am very happy to learn about this temple. I wish to bring to ur notice about NIMISHAMBA TEMPLES at Khammam ,Hyderabad, Warangal,Balkonda, Kurnool,Nirmal of AndhraPradesh state . I wish all temples to have connectivity and exchange the sevas being carried out for GODDESS NIMISHAMBA. ——devotee of NIMISHAMBA MATHA
Hello Dr. Rama Rao,
I did not know this many temples existed dedicated to Nimishamba. Thank you for the information and hope your wishes come true.
Regards,
Shantha
Sir,
I am a trustee of a Vinayaka Temple. In the same area we also have a Shanaischara Temple. We intend to construct a Nimishamba Temple. Kindly guide us with your valuable suggestions.
Hi Narasimha Sharma,
I have absolutely no experience in temple construction nor management. I like ancient temples and the history of the temples.
In fact, I am against building new temples, as I often see some beautiful ancient temples being neglected and becoming a ruin. I suggest that you continue to serve in the current temple and may you be blessed with happiness.
Regards,
Shantha

Hi Rangalakshmi,
You can visit the temple anytime. There is no limit to the pooja items that can be bought. All this is available in front of the temple itself.
I have seen people buying Lemon and getting it blessed by the goddess and worshiping the Lemon at home for a certain period. Please ask in the temple and they will be able to guide you better.
Hope all your prayers are answered,
Shantha
