According to History, Hosagunda was the capital of Shanthara Kings from 11th century to 14th century. It was at that time Sri Uma Maheshwara Temple was constructed. But after the end of Shanthara dynasty Hosagunda was reduced to ruins and the forest took over the Temple. And for the next 600 years, the Temple was completely hidden from the outside world by the forest.Very less people were aware of this Temple and from 1995 efforts started to restore the Temple to its glorious past. Now, Dharmastala Manjunathershwara trust has taken the responsibility of renovating the Temple and Ramachandrapura Math is conducting the religious rituals.
