The Bucesvara temple (also spelt Buceswara, Bucheshwara or Bhucheshvara temple) is the main attraction of Koravangala, located 10 km from Hassan Railway Station in Karnataka. A fine specimen of the Hoysala architecture, this Shiva Temple was built in 12th Century A.D.

An inscription in the Buceswara temple states that the temple was built in 1173 AD to celebrate the coronation of Hoysala King Veera Ballala II (r. 1173–1220 CE).
