Hullekere

Is a small village near Gandasi. It lies on the Arsikere - Tiptur road. On a mound on the back side of this village stands a Kaesava temple of the Hoysala style. As it stand high on a mound a pedestal has not been provided. There are verandas on all the four sides as in the Somanatha pura temple and there is a portico on the eastern side.

The temple is small in size but very handsome. Even though the sculptural features on the surfaces of the outer walls are not much, there are 12 forms of Vishnu on the southern side and the 12 remaining forms on the northern side. On the west there are the sculptural works of God Dharani Varaha. Over the head of the temple there is an attractive Sikhara. In the sikhara the special feature of sala's brave posture is incorporated as the main symbol of the Hoysalas.

At the entrance door (main entrance) there are two mammoths and a huge inscription, in stone. Inside are the navaranga and a santurary with the image of Sree Kaesava.
