Among the Hoysala temples of this place the Yoganarsimha Temple has been built by one called Acala Prakasa Muni during reign of Veera Ballala. The ring of nine forms of Narasimha (Nava Narasimha Vritta) incorporated in the ceiling of the Portico of the temple is a rare sculptural work. This vritta is supposed to have mystic powers. Narasingimayya father of the Hoysala Queen Santala-Devi built the Dharmeshwara Temple in 1122AD. Visitors who enter Santhigrama are first welcomed at the end of the main road by the commanding appearance of the Kesava Temple which is standing high on a raised pedestal.This Santhigrama village was donated to Shantala- Devi the loving Queen of Vishnuvardhana Raya.
