Harihareshwara temple at Harihar in Davangere district

Harihareshwara temple was built in the 11th century by the Hoysala rulers. The main deity is a mix of both Vishnu and Eshwara. It is believed that these two Gods had to merge in order to admonish a demon named Guhasura. The temple was ruined purportedly by Islamic rulers. It was subsequently restored by the Maratha Peshwa rulers and recently by the ASI.

This style of temple architecture was very prominent in the Uttara Karnataka region. The sabhamandapa is so similar to Kamal Basadi Jain temple in Belgaum and the Kadamba Kamala Narayana temple, Degaon.
