Layout of Shri Koupineshwar Temple

The Temple complex as it stands today, is spread over an area admeasuring 5247.50 Sq.Mtrs. or thereabouts. In addition to the main Temple, dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva, the complex has many other temples dedicated to various other deities from the Hindu religion.

The Temple Complex has four entrances, three of them remain operational throughout the year and the fourth is opened once each year on the holy day of Mahashivaratri. The main entrance of the Temple complex, is located on it's eastern side and devotees are greeted by a huge statue of Lord Shiva's Nandi (Bull).

As you move past the Nandi and start moving towards the Shiva Ling, there is a Tulsi Vrindavan on the left side. As you ascend the steps of the temple you enter the Main Hall known as the Sabhamandap which leads to the Sanctum Sanctorum. On the left side of the entrance to the Sanctum Sanctorum, you can see the idol of Shri Mahaganapati and on it's right side, you can see the idol of Goddess Sarvamangala. The height of main entrance to the Sanctum Sanctorum is around 5 feet, and as a result, all devotees naturally bow down, as they enter to seek the blessings of Lord Shri Koupineshwar.

The main Shiva Temple is located on the southern side of the complex. Right next to it, is a temple of Vitthal Rakhumai. On it's northern side, in a separate building, are temples of Shitaladevi, Uttareshwar and Panchamukhi Shiva, and adjacent to it, in the same building is the Shri Ram Temple. Further to it's north, in a separate building, is the temple of Kalika Mata, which is also a highly revered temple in this complex. The same building also houses the temples of Kalabhairav, Mhasoba and Vetal (perhaps the only one in this region). Adjacent to it, one can find the Shri Maruti Temple and Shri Ganpati Temple, which is considered by many, to be the second energy center in this Temple complex. The Dakshinabhimukhi Hanuman mandir (the South Facing Hanuman Temple), is located on the northern most end of the Temple Complex. On it's eastern side, one can find two Lamp Towers (Deepstambhs), a temple dedicated to the Kalpavriksha, Vasistha and Kamdhenu. The Shri Dutta Temple, is located in the North East corner of the temple complex and next to it and located exactly on the opposite side of the central courtyard from the Shri Ram Temple, is the Das Maruti Temple. Next to the Das Maruti Temple is the Temple dedicated to Lord Garuda.
