A 13th century temple that gives a name to a village

The Nokia N8 mystery tour started today and my destination is in the midst of a forest. However, amidst the wildlife sanctuary is this 13th century temple that historians say was built by the Kadambas..and the temple eventually lent its name to the place I am now in - so where am I ?

Fantastic captures as always, Lakshmi! Looks like such a lovely and interesting place. The last shot of the little ones face is superb! You could drown in those haunting eyes! Terrific! Have a lovely evening!
