Someshwara temple is one of the prominent ancient temples of Bangalore. The main temple was supposedly built by Chola dynasty, while the impressive Rajagopuram and the compound of the temple were built by chieftain Kempegowda, the founder of Bangalore. Endowed with splendid architecture, the Someshwara temple bears shimmering Rajagopuram (tower) and Dhwajastambha (massive pillar) which provide a glimpse of the master craftsmanship.
