Kedareshwar Temple, 11thAD, Karnataka, India - by K J S Chatrath

 

I visited Kedareshwara Temple near Halebidu in Karnataka India a few days back. Kedareshwara Temple is a Hoysala era construction in the Hassan district of Karnataka state, India. It is located a short distance away from the famous Hoysaleswara Temple. The temple was constructed by Hoysala King Veera Ballala II (1173–1220 CE) and his Queen Ketaladevi around 1219 AD.  The main deity is Ishwara (another name for the Hindu god Shiva). The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.
