Javagal Lakshminarasimha Temple




Lakshminarasimha Temple is situated at Javagal, about 5 km from Arasikere in Hassan District of Karnataka. It is a fine specimen of Hoysala architecture with three shrines dedicated to Keshava, Gopala and Lakshminarasimha. All these shrines are fine examples of distinguished workmanship showing a high degree of skill and talent. Even though, Lakshminarasimha is installed here in a subsidiary shrine, it is accorded the status of a main deity for whom daily worship is conducted.

Brahmotsava is the main festival celebrated here.

Javagal is well connected to other cities and towns by road. The nearest railway station is Arasikere Railway Station on the Mysore line of the South Central Railways.
