The two Nandies, the time frozen sculpture. Need plans of the erstwhile capital of the Hoysalas at site, the museums need to be a little more organized.

A beautiful historical temple with finest of hand carvings, art works everywhere inside and out. Entry is free here. Local guides are available. A large lush garden area to sit and relax is surrounding the temple. Visiting here in summers is not recommended as the stones outside the temple gets very hot and visitor may not be able to stand barefoot. Car parking charge was 70 Rs.
