Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta Temple :- This temple was built by the Hoysala King Ballala during AD 1315. Later the Wodeyars [ Wodeyar dynasty ] of Mysore who were ardent devotees of Lord Venugopala displayed keen interest in maintaining the hill temple.[3] The temple is dedicated to Gopalaswamy, which is one of the names of the Hindu God Krishna.
