The Someshwara Temple, located in Kolar town, Karnataka, India, is a magnificent example of 14th-century Vijayanagara-era architecture, built in the Dravidian style.
The Someshwara Temple, dedicated to Someshwara, a form of the Hindu god Shiva, is a protected monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.
According to art historian George Michel, the overall design of the Someshwara Temple resembles that of the Someshvara temple in Bangalore, but this temple is more intricate in its finishing and detailing..
The temple is renowned for its towering superstructure (gopuram) above the main entrance (mahadwara), which is constructed using brick and stucco.
