History & tradition
The Lakshminarasimha Temple is at Javagal in the Arsikere taluk of Karnataka, about 20 km north-east of Halebidu and 50 km from Hassan. It was completed between 1250 and 1260 CE under the Hoysala king Vira Someshwara. Dedicated to Narasimha, the man-lion avatar of Vishnu, it is a compact example of the Hoysala triple-shrine plan: three sanctums, of Lakshminarasimha, Sridhara and Venugopala, open onto one shared hall.
