The rocky hills of Devrayan Durga near Bangalore is surrounded by forest. The hill is dotted with several temples and at the at the foot of the hill is Boganarasimha Temple.
This ancient temple is of the Chola period and has been renovated recently. This temple enjoyed the patronage of many kings from various dynasties and also is well known for its simple but beautiful architectural marvel.
Lord Narsihma is main deity of this temple and The idol of Goddess Lakshmi devi is also seen here. The temple has beautifully carved tower. Also adjacent to the tower in the temple is beautifully carved sculptures showing various avatarts of Lord Krishna.

Such elegant and intricate carvings on the tower and I loved the colorful avatars of Lord Krishna (the colored carvings are quite different from what I remember seeing here before.) I like them very much!
