caption_attribution_description: English: This photograph was taken by me at the Rameshvara temple (also spelt Rameshwara or Ramesvara) at Kudli in Shivamogga district (also spelt Shimoga) in Karnataka state, India. The temple was built in the 12th century during the rule of the Hoysala empire.
context_page_description: Koodli is a small village in Shimoga District, in the Indian state of Karnataka. Koodli is the place where two rivers, the Tunga River and Bhadra River, meet to give rise to the Tungabhadra River.
context_section_description: The place has a historic value, with temples of near Hoysala time. There are shasanas carved near the temples that indicate the era when they were built. The exact dates are disputed, but the sculptures date back to age old Indian culture and look exotic. 
  There are various temples - small and large ones built by the rulers who ruled this place in the age old era.
