The Brahmeshvara temple is a 12th-century Hindu temple with Hoysala architecture in Kikkeri village, Mandya district of Karnataka state, India.
Dedicated to Shiva, the temple is notable for its integration of all major traditions of Hinduism - Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism, along with Vedic deities. The east facing temple has several innovations in the Karnata-tradition of Hindu architecture, such as an ingenious mesa-makara-pattika, the bulging Navaranga mandapa, the sophisticated details in many statues and the classical Indian dance postures as sculpted inside the mandapa.
It was completed in 1171 AD by a woman named Bammave Nayakiti during the rule of Hoysala King Narasimha I.
