Abstract

In January, 1904, in revisiting the more important Chalukyan temples of Mysore, we heard, for the first time, of the existence of two or three old temples in the Hassan district. Five miles from Arsikere, between that place and Hassan, one of these stands alone in a field off the turnpike. It belongs to the village of Haranhalli, which lies at a short distance off. Built in the form of a Maltese cross, it has a one-star formed sikra, similar to those of Somnathpur, but rather lower. Peculiarities of this tower are three smaller replica stars projecting from its base on three sides, each running up in sculptured tiers. Being small, they do not disturb the harmonious outline of the sikra.
