History
The Temple was built in 1234 CE by the King Vira Someshwara of Hoysala Dynasty. Three brothers namely Peddanna Heggade, Somanna and Keshanna obtained a free site from the villagers and constructed the temple in 1234 CE as per the inscription available in the temple. The Hoysala king Narasimha III gifted more lands with the brothers for the development of the temple. Mallitamma, one of the best-known Hoysala sculptors of the 13th century CE, is the main sculptor of this Temple. He is believed to have worked on the temples at Nuggehalli, Hosaholalu and Somanathapura. His signature can be seen on one of the panels.
