Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, Nuggehalli, Hindu temple in Hassan district, India

The Lakshmi Narasimha Temple features three sanctums around a central closed mantapa supported by four round pillars with deeply domed ceilings.

The temple was constructed in 1246 CE by Bommanna Dandanayaka, a military commander serving under King Vira Someshwara during the Hoysala Empire period.

The walls display 120 sculptured panels depicting scenes from the Bhagavatha, with intricate carvings of Hindu deities and their attendants along the lower eaves.

Located 52 kilometers from Hassan and 29 kilometers from Shravanabelagola, the temple remains open daily from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM without entrance fees.

The temple exhibits a trikutachala design with the western sanctum containing images of Durga, Sarasvati, and Harihara in three distinct devakosthas.
