The history of the temple is not so well known. The small temple appears to be a Hoysala structure with beautifully carved stone pillars on the mukhamantapa.
The idols of Lord Vishnu are carved on it but a recent whitewash has obscured the beauty of the idols somewhat. From the top of the hill, the breathtaking views are the other attractions. The majestic Shivagange hill – Known as Dakshina Kashi resembling a Turtle, the surrounding jungle, the trees and the birds will make one forget the climb. Good for a short trip. The hill can be visible from the main road. The temple opens every day at 10 am and closes at 1:30 pm. There is no pooja in the evening because according to the popular belief, the divine sages worship here in the evening. The small Anjaneya Temple below the hill can be visited. Here, an idol of Sri Hanuman can be seen carved on a rock. In the Month of Magha a Ratha yatra – Car festival takes place. Devotees throng the place and take part in the ritual every year. In 2016 it is scheduled to be held on February 22 as per the temple trust.Read more
