Someshwar Temple, situated at Lakshmeshwar in the Gadag district of Karnatka is about 55 km from Hubli. This 12th century sculpted stone temple built by Chalukyas is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The beautifully sculpted idols of Shiva Parvathi and Nandi in this temple were brought from Saurashtra by a Shiva devotee and hence it is sometimes called as Saurashtra Someshwara. Besides these, the temple also houses idols of Shri Mahishasur Mardhini and Chaturbhuj Ganapati. Surrounded by high walls with three main entrances, the temple complex consists of Mukha mantapa (Entrance porch), Ardha mantapa (Halfway hall), Garbha griha (Sanctum sanctorum) and Spacious Navaranga. Behind the temple, there is an open well.
