A 12th-century twin-shrine Hoysala temple near Hassan, known for its detailed exterior carvings and peaceful, rural setting.

Built during the Hoysala dynasty, it showcases their distinctive architectural style using soapstone. The temple is a 'dvikuta', meaning it has two shrines, each with its own tower (shikhara) and a Nandi pavilion facing it. The main shrine is for Bucesvara (a form of Shiva), and the secondary one is for Surya, the sun god, though the idol is now missing.
