ಹೊಯ್ಸಳರ ಪುರಾತನ ಶ್ರೀ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀದೇವಿ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ - ದೊಡ್ಡಗದ್ದವಳ್ಳಿ | Hoysalas Ancient Temple near Hassan.

The Shri Lakshmi Devi Temple at Doddagaddavalli, built in 1113 CE, is one of the earliest surviving temples of the Hoysala Empire. Commissioned by a merchant named Kullahana Rahuta and his wife Sahaja Devi, it predates many other famous Hoysala temples. Located near Hassan in Karnataka, this temple is notable for its chatuskuta (four-shrine) layout, a rare architectural feature. Built from chloritic schist (soapstone), it showcases early Hoysala craftsmanship with intricate carvings and a unique star-shaped plan. The main deity is Goddess Lakshmi, and the temple also houses shrines of Kali, Shiva, and Vishnu. Surrounded by a small lake and fort-like walls, the temple retains a serene and historic ambiance. #kannada #travel #gowrish #kannadatraveller #tourist #temple #hoysala #hoysalaarchitecture #nature #history #templenearbangalore #placetovisitnearbangalore #lordlakshmi #lordshiva
