Sri Yoga-Madhava temple is dedicated to an unusual form of Vishnu. The Sanctum houses an image about nine feet in height above a pedestal of Vishnu seated in the typical contemplative "Lotus Posture" {Padmasana}.
Gopala Dandanayaka built this temple in 1261 A.D during the reign of Hoysala King Narasimha III. It is a Hoysala structure, raised on a stellate parapet, three foot high, with a square central hall. A stone superstructure adorns the sanctum.
