Amruthapura

67 km north of Chikmagalur, Amrithapura is known for the Amritheshwara temple built in 1196 A.D by Amriteshwara Dandanayaka, a general of the Hoysala ruler Veera Ballala II. Delicacy of touch, originality of design and fine features have made this temple one of the notable structures of the Hoysala period on the banks of the river Bhadra.

A statue of this acharya is carved on the upper portion of the rock  on the banks of the river Bhadra.
