Halasuru Someshwara Temple
Halasuru Someshwara Temple is located Halasuru in Bangalore. It is one of the old temples in the city dating back to the Chola period, it is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Major additions or modifications were made during the late Vijayanagara Empire period under the rule of Hiriya Kempe Gowda II.
Someshwara temples were built by the Chalukyas of Kalyani in Karnataka. During that period we see Tamil inscriptions as a few Mudaliars (Tuluva Vellala) were settled.
Other notable works of art include sculptures that depict King Ravana lifting Mount Kailash, Durga slaying Mahishasura (a demon), images of the Nayanmar saints, marriage of Parvati to the god Shiva, the saptarishis. The temple has a temple tank (kalyani) which is 1200 years old.
