Lakshmeshwar. The Someshwara temple is an important sacred structure here. Built in the 11th century AD, it represents the ornate Chalukyan style of architecture with friezes of elephants and richly carved elaborate motifs. There are 16 bell-shaped decorated pillars. The temple has the idols of Shiva and Parvati riding a Nandi (the bull) in the sanctum sanctorum. It is interesting to note that it is the only temple in Karnataka with such a rare idol of Shiva and Parvati on the Nandi.
