Скачать или смотреть 800 Years Old Shiva Temple, Arsikere

Discover the Ishvara Temple of Arasikere, one of the most unique and lesser-known masterpieces of Hoysala architecture. Built around 1220 CE during the reign of King Veera Narasimha II, this temple stands out with its 16-pointed star-shaped mantapa, intricate carvings, miniature aedicula shrines, and its remarkably complex stellate ground plan.

In this video, we explore the temple’s rare sculptures, outer-wall carvings, doorway panels like Gajalakshmi, the multi-deity lintel featuring Shiva, Vishnu, Kartikeya, Ganesha, and Brahma, and the beautifully decorated open and closed mantapas. The Ishvara Temple represents the peak of craftsmanship in medieval Karnataka and remains one of the finest examples of soapstone artistry.

Join us as we uncover the history, architecture, symbolism, and hidden details that make the Ishvara Temple a true gem of Hassan district and a must-visit destination on the Hoysala Heritage Trail.
