Ganesha Temple at Kurudumale is one of the 15th century temple built during the time of Vijayanagara Kings.
This temple is built of a single rock without any foundation. On the exterior the temple is simple and plane. Half of the temple has different style of carving, believed to have been done by the legendary artist Jakanachari.
On the interior of the temple there are beautifully carved pillars.
The massive Ganesha Idol here is 13.5 feet long and 6 to 7 feet in width. Opposite to Lord Ganesha is a big mouse sculpture.

How interesting that this temple was carved from a single rock. You did a good job photographing the interior's beautiful columns.
Made out of one rock - that's incredible.
