Lakshminarayana Temple, Hosaholalu, Hindu temple in Mandya district, India

The Lakshminarayana Temple features three shrines with a central tower, constructed entirely from soapstone and elevated on a star-shaped platform with decorated corners.

The temple walls display 120 detailed panels depicting scenes from Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, along with representations of deities and traditional dancers.

Located 55 kilometers from Mysore and 69 kilometers from Hassan, the temple remains open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM without entrance fees.

The navaranga hall contains four polished lathe-turned pillars that create nine equal sections, each featuring distinct ceiling decorations and dancing figure carvings.
