History & significance

One of the two surviving major temples of Haranhalli, completed in the 1230s by the Heggade brothers Peddanna, Sovanna and Kesanna, with a single stellate sanctum and an enclosed circumambulation path in mature Vesara form. More damaged than the neighbouring Lakshminarasimha temple, it keeps notable relief panels and is a protected monument of the Archaeological Survey of India.
