One of the hidden gems! Amrutesvara Temple near Tarikere in Chikmagaluru district doesn't get much recognition. The Hoysala architecture leaves you spellbound. Even though the temple is smaller when compared to other Hoysalan temples at Belur, Halebidu, Somanathapura, this temple is equally beautiful. What makes it better is the free lunch/prasada. Very simple payasa, rice and sambar, served between 12.30pm to 3.00pm for free! Already a part of Archeological Survey of India (ASI), I expect the Central and State govts to do more to promote this heritage site.

Great place to visit. The architecture that was built 1k yrs ago mesmerizes you. sNkraati is the Best time to visit this temple.

Very beautiful temple & it is maintained very well. Main temple has god Amruteshwara(Shiva) & on left side behind the temple Saraswati temple. Timing is from 6am to 6pm..(no break)
