Lakshmi Devi Temple, Hindu temple in Hassan district, India.

The temple complex contains four primary shrines sharing a central hall, with each sanctuary precisely oriented toward different cardinal directions.

Wealthy merchant Kullahana Rahuta and his wife Sahaj Devi commissioned the construction of this temple in 1113 CE during King Vishnuvardhana's reign.

The temple houses deities from both Shaivism and Vaishnavism traditions, including Lakshmi, Kali, Shiva, and formerly Vishnu, reflecting religious diversity.

Located 20 kilometers northwest of Hassan city, visitors can access the temple grounds from sunrise to sunset through private transportation.

The temple features nine structures with pyramidal Nagara shikhara design, indicating architectural influences from Maharashtra and northern India.
