It is home to the [[Mallikarjuna Temple, Basaralu|Mallikarjuna temple]], an ornate example of [[Hoysala architecture]], and is dedicated to Mallikarjuna, another name for the Hindu god Shiva. This temple was built in 1234 by Harihara Nayaka, a commander under the Hoysala King [[Vira Narasimha II]].<ref>http://www.templesofkarnataka.com/navigation/details.php?id=94</ref><br />

The temple complex comprises two shrines dedicated to the deities Mallikarjuna and Chandikeshwara. The Mallikarjuna shrine houses a Balahari "[[linga]]" and beautiful lotus carving on the ceiling. There is a [[Bhairava]] sculpture in the sanctum ("garbhagriha") of Chandikeshwara temple in a corner of the temple complex. There is a twenty feet tall pillar opposite to the temple. The base of the temple has mouldings with relief in the ascending order of elephants, horses with riders, Hoysala emblem, [[purana|puranic]] episodes, crocodiles and swans, a theme that is common in most Hoysala temples.<ref>http://teamgsquare.blogspot.com/2010/10/basaralu.html</ref><br />
