Arakeshwara Temple, Haleyedatore
Krishnarajanagara Taluk, Karnataka
Hale Yedatore, a village in the Krishnaraja Nagara taluk of the Mysore district, Karnataka state, India is located about four kilometers north of the commercially important newly built town of Krishnarajanagara, and about 44 km north-west of the historically important city of Mysore. The name Yedatore derives from two Kannada language words, yeda and tore – a name that arises from the "bend to the left" made by the river at that spot which is considered sacred by Hindus. There are steps leading from the temple down to the bathing areas ("ghats") by the river. Yedatore village was severely damaged in the 1920s from the flood waters of the River Kaveri, prompting the Mysore ruler to build the new town, named Krishnarajanagar, little southerly on an elevated land.
