Dedicated to Shiva, it is an example of rock-cut architecture; tradition takes its origin back to the sages Gautama and Bharadwaja, and it was renovated in the 16th century by Kempe Gowda I, the founder of the city. The temple is famous for the large stone discs in its forecourt and for its precise planning, which lets sunlight reach the shrine at a certain time of the year.
