Chokkanathaswamy temple, at Domlur in the Indian city of Bangalore, is dedicated to the deity known as Chokkanathaswamy or Chokka Perumal (the Hindu god [Vishnu]). It is one of the oldest temples in the city, dating to the Chola period of the 10th century AD.  There are several notable sculptures and decorative features in the complex and the temple faces east. 

There are a number of Tamil inscriptions in the temple. Domlur is called as Tombalur or Desimanikkapattanam in these inscriptions. Chakravarthi Posalaviraramanatha Deva has left inscriptions with directions to temple authorities of his kingdom. Further some inscriptions record the tributes, taxes and tolls made to the temple by Devaraya II of Vijayanagar Empire, which state the houses, wells, land around Tombalur were offered to the deity Sokkapperumal. Another Tamil inscription dated 1270 talks about 2 door posts being donated by Alagiyar. Yet another inscription in Tamil details Talaikkattu and his wife donating lands from Jalapalli village and Vinnamangalam tank to the deity. A 1290 AD inscription talks about donation of ten pens from the revenue of Tommalur by Poysala vira Ramananda.

The temple has been extensively renovated several times and only the sanctum sanctorum and two ardhamantapas exhibit antiquity. The images of Vishnu, Sridevi and Bhudevi established in Garbhagraha are carved out of Shaligrama stone brought from Gandaki river, in Nepal.

There are 12 pranic points within this temple complex. Two of them are in the sanctuary and ten are outside. The white squares mark the 10 places.One has to stand inside the square facing the shrine and pray at these points for at least 2 minutes to experience and enjoy the cosmic energy. A retired Chief Executive Engineer, barely 10 years ago, found these points.
