Ishvara Temple, Arasikere, Hindu temple in Arasikere, India

The Ishvara Temple features a 16-pointed star-shaped hall design and contains three different types of star points in its asymmetrical shrine construction.

Built around 1220 CE during the Hoysala Empire reign, the temple exhibits architectural elements that reflect the engineering capabilities of medieval Indian craftsmen.

The temple houses a Shiva linga in its sanctum, while its vestibule displays a carved image of Nandi, the sacred bull associated with Hindu traditions.

Located 41 kilometers east of Hassan city, visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services or private transportation from major Karnataka cities.

The temple deviates from standard Hoysala architecture by incorporating an unusual rotating circular plan and featuring a distinctive star-shaped mantapa design.
