Kodandarama Temple stands to the south-east of
Hiremagalur. The temple seems to have been constructed in three stages. The whole temple is a blend of
Hoysala and Dravidian styles of architecture. The outer walls of the
garbh griha and vestibule are raised on a square basement which consists of six cornices. The outer walls of the
navagraha shrine and
Mukhamandapa are built of brick and mortar.
In the garbh griha, there are images of Kodandarama,
Sita and
Lakshman.
Lord Ram and Lakshaman both hold arrows in their right hands and strung bows in their left hands. There are small shrines containing the figures of Yoganarasimha, Vedanta Deshika, Sugriva, Kalinga, Mardhana, Madhava, Ramanujacharya, and some
Alwars. There are also figures of
Goddess Lakshmi,
Lord Hanuman,
Lord Garuda and
Lord Ganesh. The temple conducts a festival every year during the months of February and March.
