Template:Main This train traces its name to mythology. Chamundeshwari is an incarnation of Adi Parashakti who destroyed the demon Mahishasura. At the spot believed to be the place where Chamundeshwari killed Mahishasura, a temple was constructed there, currently located in Chamundi Hills in Mysuru. The Maharaja of Mysore and the Royal family of Mysore worshipped Chamundeshwari as their patron deity. The temple is believed to be a Shakti Peetha as the hair of Goddess Sati fell there
