KALLESVARA TEMPLE
Hindu
9th Century

The Hoysala temples here belong to the last days of the Hoysala dynasty. The Kallesvara temple however, is from the much older Noramba dynasty. The Noramba dynasty ruled the Karnataka region at the same time as the West Ganga dynasty and built a large number of temples here. This is a simple temple with pilasters on the front. Inside, the ceiling has carved images of deities worth seeing.
Outer view of the temple painted white.
