The ancient city of Barkur was the capital of the Tulu kingdom in the olden days. The city has ten extensions called Keris. Each of these Keri had a tank and number of temples built between 9th and 16th century.
One such temple is Someshwar Temple at Manigara Keri. The temple has typical sloping terracotta-tiled roofs.
Under the tiled roof there are carvings of the God/Goddess in each of the directions and in the corner there are animals like elephants.
Outside the main complex of the temple is a small pillared mantapa with beautiful small carvings on the pillars.

I really like this temple. The roof lines are beautiful.
Hello Rajesh, I'm surprised by the quiet and utter absence of people at this temple. Perhaps because it is out-of-the way and doesn't draw as many crowds? The rooflines look different than other temples you've featured. As usual, I'm admiring the stone work.
Nice sculptures.
Your blog reminds me there is plenty to believe in and there always has been.
Thank you for appreciating this temple.
