Photograph of the temple of Chamoondee (Kali) on the Hill at Mysore, showing a view looking towards the temple gopura. The caption to the photograph as published in the 'Souvenir of Mysore Album' reads: 'The temple is held in great veneration by the Maharajas of Mysore. It was built A.D. 1128, and the Maharaja, Krishna Raja Wodeyar III, repaired the shrine and furnished it with a tower in 1827, and in 1848 presented the temple car used in religious processions. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Chamoondee'.

The Chamoondee hill is a rocky hill about two miles south-east of the Fort of Mysore and takes its name from the Goddess Kali or Chamoondee, the consort of Siva worshipped on the summit.
