  I visited the Amruteshwara Temple in Karnataka, India, a few weeks back.   This temple is located in the village of Amruthapura, 67 km north of Chikmagalur town in the Chikkamagaluru district of the Karnataka state , India . Constructed in 1196 AD under the patronage of Veera Ballala II, a king of the Hoysala dynasty, this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is near the serene Bhadra River and amidst lush greenery . Temple is renowned for its intricate and detailed carvings, reflecting the artistic brilliance of the Hoysala era. The following architectural elements highlight the temple’s grandeur.

It was a girls school and boys were enrolled in the lowest class for one year only I chuckle at seeing the report that informs that my arithmetic was not strong but my conduct and politeness were very impressive.
