Located in Amruthapura, around 67 kilometres north of Chikmagalur, the Amrutesvara Temple was built in 1196 CE by the commander Amrutheshwara Dandanayaka, during the rule of Veera Ballala II (r. 1173–1220 CE), the Hoysala King. 

Located near the reservoir of the Bhadra River, this 12th century temple is a fine specimen of Hoysala architecture.
