Kondrahalli, Hoskote, Karnataka · 13.1808°, 77.9239°
A Shiva temple at Kondrahalli in Hoskote taluk dated to 1065 CE and built in the Chola period. Its temple tank is tied to the Mahabharata, and the site is discussed in the literature on Indian temple architecture.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The tank here is held to be where the Yaksha Prashna took place: four Pandava brothers fell dead at its water, and Dharmaraja answered the Yaksha's questions to win their lives back from Yama.
