I am aghast that Karnataka tourism development authority does not promote this gem. My wife & I weren’t aware of this until my aunt & uncle took us there. This 11th century temple was built during the Chalukya rule, with some 12th century additions during Hoysala rule. The architecture & sculpturing are spectacular. The temple is located near the town of Shikaripura, about an hour’s drive from Shimoga. One can stay at Shimoga or at one of the several homestay options. We stayed at Ajjana mane, a very nice homestay near Talaguppa. And from this homestay, one can easily access several sightseeing places - the 11th century Kedareshvara temple, Balligavi is 90 minutes drive; the 16th century Aghoreshvara temple, Ikkeri is 30 minutes drive; the 16th century Rameshwara temple, Keladi is 30 minutes drive; Jog Falls is 30 minutes drive.

Medium sized well maintained temple. Must visit place if you are interested in historic Hindu temples. One of those off beat and out of popular tourist circuit. Place bear in mind that this is a functioning temple and basic decorum needs to be followed in accordance with Hindu sentiments. The temple architecture is splendid. Big intricately carved pillars, the huge Nandi in addition to numerous typical Dravidian architecture are the highlights. The temple can be covered within an hour. The outer temple premise is also used for pre wedding candid photo shoot.
