Harihareshwara Temple is a 12th century Hoysala structure situated at the holy town of Harihar near
Chitradurga, on the banks of the
Tungabhadra river. The temple is 14 km from
Davangere. It enshrines a 4 feet image of Harihara with its left portion representing
Lord Vishnu and the right,
Lord Shiva. A microscopic image of
Goddess Lakshmi represented on the lintel of the doorway testifies the architectural proficiency and inimitable craftsmanship of the Hoysala artists.
Harihar is an ideal picnic spot.
