History & tradition
The Shiva temple at Narayanapur village is in the Bidar district of Karnataka, about 4 km from Basavakalyan. It is a good example of Kalyana Chalukya architecture, built as a trikutachala with a sanctum and two pillared halls. Many of its sculptures show Narasimha slaying Hiranyakashipu and various forms of Vishnu and Lakshmi, which suggests that the temple may originally have been dedicated to Vishnu.
