Hoysaleswara Temple - Halebeedu, Karnataka Hoysaleswara temple (also spelt Hoysaleshwara or Hoysaleshvara) is a temple dedicated to Hindu god Shiva. It was built in Halebidu (in modern Karnataka state, India) during the rule of King Vishnuvardhana of the Hoysala Empire in the 12th century. The construction was completed in 1121 CE. During the early 14th century, Halebidu was sacked and looted by Muslim invaders from northern India and the temple fell into a state of ruin and neglect. Previously known as Dorasamudra or Dwarasamudra, Halebidu is 16 km from Belur, 31 km from Hassan and 149 km from Mysore, in the state of Karnataka, India goo.gl/Nj1kJP, +91-80-43000900 #hinduTemples #hindugods #India #Temples
