District Prison Madikeri
Welcome to the town of Madikeri or MERCARA as known to locals. This prison was built long back in 1812 inside the Madikeri Fort by Raja Lingarajendra II. There is also a old church, and a poorly managed museum inside the fort.Now the fort is municipal head-quarters of the town. East of the Fort is Indo-Saracenic Style Omkareshwar temple built by raja in 1820. There is a small lake surrounding the temple.A flight of steps lead to the temple from behind the Madikeri Police station.
