Teru Malleshvara Temple, Hiriyur, Hindu temple in Hiriyur, India.
The Teru Malleshvara Temple features a five-tiered rajagopuram on its southern side and contains metallic idols of Chandramouleswara and Uma Maheshwara in the navaranga.
The temple was established in 1466 during the Vijayanagara Empire period, when a devoted follower named Belavadi Hema Reddy Mallamma received divine guidance to build it.
The temple ceiling displays detailed murals depicting narratives from the Shiva Purana and Ramayana, representing essential elements of Hindu mythology and tradition.
Located 630 meters above sea level, the temple is accessible via buses from Bangalore to Hubli, with Hiriyur bus station serving as the nearest transportation hub.
The temple originated from a cylindrical grinding stone where Lord Shiva manifested, leading to its recognition as Dakshina Kashi, the southern equivalent of Varanasi.
