The Lakshminarayana Temple is a 13th-century Hindu temple in Hosaholalu, Mandya district, Karnataka, India. Built in the Hoysala architectural style, the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
This three-shrine monument is renowned for its intricately carved plinth (adhisthana), featuring panels depicting scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavata Purana. It also boasts one of the most beautifully adorned Hoysala tower projections (sukanasa), which blends Dravida architectural motifs with the eight-petalled Bhumija motifs from central India.
The town of Hosaholalu is located approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) southeast of Hassan and 45 kilometers (28 miles) northwest of Mysore, the cultural capital of Karnataka.
The temple was constructed by King Vira Someshwara of the Hoysala Empire in 1250 CE. Although it lacks a foundation inscription, the dating of the temple is determined through the style of its sculptures and architecture, which closely resembles other contemporary Hoysala monuments found at Javagal, Nuggehalli, and Somanathapura.
