Someshwara Temple, Kolar, Hindu temple in Kolar, India.

The Someshwara Temple features a tall entrance tower made of brick and stucco, leading to an open pillared hall and the main sanctum.

Built in the 14th century during the Vijayanagara Empire period, this temple underwent modifications by subsequent rulers who expanded its structure and decorations.

The temple pillars display carvings that combine Indian, European, Chinese, and Thai artistic elements, reflecting the international trade connections of that era.

The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 12:00 noon and from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM, located 68 kilometers from Bangalore on the Chennai-Bangalore highway.

The Kalyana Mantapa wedding hall contains 64 sixteen-sided pillars with detailed carvings of horse riders and mythological narratives on granite surfaces.
