Doddagaddavalli Lakshmi Devi Temple - History details

Built in 1113–1114 CE under Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana by merchant Kullahana Rahuta and Sahaja Devi, this is the earliest chatushkuta temple in Karnataka. Dedicated to Mahalakshmi with shrines for Shiva, Kali and Vishnu, it stands beside a historic tank. Its Nagara‑style towers, soapstone carvings and fortified prakara reflect early Hoysala experimentation, making it a rare architectural treasure.
