The Tibetan Golden Temple is situated in Kushalnagar Mysore, in the state of Karnataka. It is the second largest Tibetan settlement outside of Tibet and China. The Golden Temple is the main attraction in Kushalnagar; its walls are adorned with colourful paintings depicting gods and demons from Buddhist mythology.

Three beautiful Golden Buddha statues — Padmasambhava, Buddha and Amitayus — are in the temple. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the temple is a very calm and majestic sight.
