Karnataka is home to some of the most exquisite temples; some are well-known, and some remain in the shadows. One such temple is the Sri Lakshminarayana Swamy Temple of Hosahoalu in Mandya District. It is a 13th-century Hoysala temple dedicated to Vishnu.
The temple is known for its beautiful panels that depict scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata Purana. Its tower is beautifully embellished and makes for a marvellous sight. The temple is located about 60 kilometres from the city of Hassan.
