Shri Veeranarayana Swamy Devastana - History details

Located in Belavadi, this exquisite 12th‑century trikuta Hoysala temple was built under King Veera Ballala II (~1200 CE). It features sanctums for Veeranarayana, Gopala and Yoga‑Narasimha, linked by a grand mandapa with jewel‑like lathe pillars. Legends associate Belavadi with Mahabharata’s Bheema slaying Bakasura. Its quiet village setting and stellar carvings make it a hidden gem.
