Just wowww....Red colour Saligrama Linga and Sharadha maatha idols are highlights. Very calm and energetic feeling inside the temples

This temple is worth going out of your way for to visit in person. As all good temples it’s so much more powerful in person. Great architecture that’s been preserved well in a peaceful setting.

One of the hidden gems!

Amrutesvara Temple near Tarikere in Chikmagaluru district doesn't get much recognition.

The Hoysala architecture leaves you spellbound. Even though the temple is smaller when compared to other Hoysalan temples at Belur, Halebidu, Somanathapura, this temple is equally beautiful.

What makes it better is the free lunch/prasada. Very simple payasa, rice and sambar, served between 12.30pm to 3.00pm for free!

Already a part of Archeological Survey of India (ASI), I expect the Central and State govts to do more to promote this heritage site.

Great place to visit. The architecture that was built 1k yrs ago mesmerizes you.
ಸಂಕ್ರಾತಿ is the Best time to visit this temple.

Very beautiful temple & it is maintained very well. Main temple has god Amruteshwara(Shiva) & on left side behind the temple Saraswati temple.
Timing is from 6am to 6pm..(no break)

It is an architectural marvel... beautiful carvings and amazing lathe pillars... a must visit place...if you get there at noon do have the Anna Prasad there.

Another temple from hoysala dynasty and it has lord Amrutheshwar as main god.

The temple is exquisite just like any other hoysala times temple, the architecture is marvelous.

This temple is not damaged much compared to Belur or halebidu.

It is small in size but the sculptures on the main Mantap is unique and beautiful 😍

Temple is protected under unesco world heritage sites & due to this the entire temple premises is clean, neat and we'll maintained.

I would definitely recommend this temple.

Temple is very nice where you have place to sit and spend time with family. Temple is very old and there is a Deepa (lamp) which is burning from last 200 years. Which is nice to see that. Also it’s government owned entries. I used to see go to this temple since childhood since it is closes to my home.

It's a great temple. It's clean and the vibe around it is just right to pray . The garden's beautiful too and neatly trimmed plants.lot’s parking places available.. peaceful 🤞

Hierarchical structure with the Hoysala carvings. If you are a Architectural love the it's a must visit spot .

Amrutheshwara Temple is belongs To Hoysala Dynasty, The Architecture and Sculptures of the temple are amazing Pillars of the temple are main attraction and Actually the Sculptures in the temple are highlight scenes of Ramayana and Mahabharata, On one side of the temple the Ramayana and Mahabharata on the other side.
Maintenance is very clean and neat

Aksharabhyasa is the main attraction of this temple… poojari is write Om at kide tongue in front of Sharadha matha

Don’t miss this temple while you travel between Shimogga and BANGLORE

Seems like belur temple hoyasaleswara structure, but the condition of temple is not so good, shiva and saradamba amma temple is so good

Very nice temple
Brilliant architecture
A must visit place
Only thing is it's not that we'll maintained

Indian culture and heritage is the best in the world. This temple is another example of the same. Almost 1000 years old. Architecture is splendid and breath taking. Lord Shiva sits peacefully and spreads his energy all around. Unique about this temple is the sharada Devi temple and not parvathi temple. Sharada Devi is believed to give good education to all.

Unlike other temples, the priest are very good, they were not money hungry or greedy priest. We were unable to speak kannada, but he explained us to get all offering in a plate kept outside. We decorated it with flowers fruits etc,. He then told to keep aside few things for Parvati temple. He performed Mangala aarti for us and gave us holy water, prasada and flower. The same was repeated by Parvati temple priest. For people coming outside of Karnataka, please get flowers, fruits, blouse piece, Kum Kum and bangles. The architecture is beautiful and a very non commercial place.

A fabulous Hoysala temple , not to be missed . It was not even built by a king, but by an army commander / Dandanayaka of Ballala~2 , but still it is lavish in decoration and the art and architecture are of very high order . Since it is not as famous as Belur-Halebid-Somnathpur , there are no tourist crowds, only a few real worshippers . So the vast compound , full of greenery all around , is very peaceful and serene . And no litter anywhere , thankfully. Those interested in ancient art and architechture can spend hours here , admiring the thousands of little details . This temple is where the famous Sculptor , Mallitama , started his sculpting career .
Close to Arsikere , in Tarikere Taluk .

It was built during the hoysala reign in 12th century AD under the commandership of Veera Ballaladeva. Has the hoysala architecture along lathed ringed pillars, ekashila idols and the carvings on the walls tell the story of mahabharatha, life of krishna.
