The Someshwara Swamy Temple in Halasuru stands as a remarkable testament to the rich heritage of South Indian architecture and religious history. This sacred site is believed to have been initially built by the Hoysalas or Cholas, showcasing the intricacies of Dravidian architecture. However, in 1570 AD, it underwent a significant renovation under the patronage of Kempe Gowda, the founder of modern Bangalore. The temple's uniqueness is immediately evident in its sculptural marvel, with each pillar and wall adorned with distinct reliefs and intricate carvings. What sets it apart is the diversity of its pillars – no two are alike, some even feature high-reliefs resembling free-standing sculptures. The walls narrate stories through a series of reliefs, scene by scene, which is a rare and captivating feature. The legend associated with this temple claims that Kempe Gowda was inspired to build it when Lord Shiva, in the form of Someshwara, appeared to him in a dream after a hunting expedition. While this temple dates back to the 16th century, it may not be considered very old in a country like India with ancient treasures like the Ajanta Caves dating from the 2nd century BC.

Halasur temple the chola temple It's interesting that it's an old temple but the mordern architecture has somewhat let me in disbelief Located in the small lanes of halasur, Getting here in a 4 wheeler is tricky, but 2 wheelers should not be an issue Timings are fixed if it's not any special days or months Free darshan Courteous priests Interesting to note, such a huge prangana in the very squam lanes Temple though hosts someshwara it has become a complex of sorts hosting Kamakshiamma, arunachaleshwara, Bheem eshewara, nanjundeshwara, Navagraha, siddhi ganapati, buddhi ganapati, Hanuman and nagavara

A very beautiful ancient Shiva temple dated back to 10th century. The temple ambience instantly made me very calm and I felt very strong vibes of devotion . The main lord Shiva idol is in the inner sanctum and one can then walk around the corridor built surrounding the inner sanctum. The temple has a large area surrounding to sit down and meditate or just listen to the hymns . There’s not enough parking near the temple so please be prepared to park at a distance and walk into the temple

Very old temple - over the centuries various addition and modification done to the temple by successive South Indian kings/chieftains'. Mantapa (Hall) with strong carved pillars with various sculptures are eye catching, King Ravana lifting Mount Kailash carving can be seen near to entrance. Apart from various deities, 64 Nayanmars (Tamil Shaivaite saints) statues are worshipped here - It's rare to see Nayanmars in temples outside Tamil Nadu.

Very ancient temple. But very surprised to see an ancient temple in between houses and apartments around.i thought there are rules that say that houses and shops cannot be built around ancient protected structures. Maybe I was wrong or I might have been misguided. I guess more needs to be done towards upkeep and hygiene in and around the temple.

Divine place for all devotees. This is Lord Mahadeva Temple & also other so many small temples around it. This is structured 1000yrs back and still holds firmly. Parking is the biggest concern if you are coming by car. Roads are very narrow and parking is very very limited. Two wheeler parking can be adjusted somewhere else.

An amazing temple which contains many small temples inside, a very peaceful and calm place to relax and sit down for some peaceful time. Very close to the metro station and there's no specific parking space or area at the temple. It's hard for a four wheeler but two wheelers can park at neighbouring roads nearby.
