Agrahara Bachahalli is a village in the southern state of the Indian state of Karnataka.[1] [2] It is located in the Krishnarajpet taluk of Mandya district.
Agrahara Bachahalli is one of the most prosperous towns from the Hoysala period.
A unique monument found there is the Garuda Lenka Sthambas (Pillars), also known as "the hero stones" and dedicated to Hoysala Garuda Pace (soldiers who handle every situation). The Hero stones at Agrahara Bachahalli number around 11 and are almost 800 years old. As per inscriptions on these pillars, the family (or) individuals in whose name the stones were installed served the Hoysala rulers from the times of King Ereyanga (1098-1102). Many inscriptions survive from the time of King Veera Ballala II (1173-1220).
It is home to numerous temples built during the Hoysala and Chola Periods. The "Huniseshwara Temple" is the most prominent and well-maintained temple there. It was constructed in the name of Hunasenayaka.
