As we proceed further, you come across a statue of Nandi housed inside a small mantapa.
As one proceeds into the temple, you can find the Navaranga the Shiva is in the form of Linga. As you take a pradakshina and come out of the temple, you will find a place which is belived to be the platform where once Wodeyars used to have Durbar. After passing thru the Durbar Hall, you will find Panchalinga behind the main shrine. At the North West corner, you will find the temple of Parvathi Devi.

Vijayanagar style We next went to Triyambakeshwara Temple in Thriyambakapuri, which is about 2.5 km from Terakanambi. This temple, believed to have been built between 1250 and 1350 AD, is a classic example of Vijayanagar style of architecture.
Vijayanagar style We next went to Triyambakeshwara Temple in Thriyambakapuri, which is about 2.5 km from Terakanambi. This temple, believed to have been built between 1250 and 1350 AD, is a classic example of Vijayanagar style of architecture. The main deity Triyambakeshwara is in the form of a linga. It is assigned to Bukka Raya II, a Vijayanagar king from the Sangama Dynasty. The mahadwara (main entrance) is similar to entrances built during the Vijayanagar period. The 12.2-metre deepasthamba, opposite the main entrance, is the main attraction. There is a similar structure on the south. The temple consists of an ardha mantapa and a garbha griha, built by the Hoysalas. The dance poses on the thick granite pillars in the spacious front Navaranga pavilion are worth a study. Triyambakeshwara’s consort Parvathi’s shrine is located adjacent to the main temple. The reflected sunlight, where Nandi faces Triyambakeshwara, brightens up the sanctum sanctorum. The right eye of Goddess Durgadevi in the adjacent small temple in the complex shines somewhat brightly. This and the temple has a unique story behind it. When a local resident visited this area a few years ago, he came across the temple. Although the area was covered by weeds and plants, he managed to get near the temple. To his astonishment, he found tears coming from the right eye of Goddess Durgadevi. With some help from local residents, he was able clean the area and soon, worship resumed. Of smaller temples We then visited Kabballi and Kallahalli, two adjacent villages. The former is 12 km from Gundlupet while the latter is three km from Kabballi. Kabbigarahalli has become a part of Kabballi today. There are some small temples with poorly-lit sanctum sanctora. At Hanchipura village, near Kallahalli, is an image of Anjaneya with Abhaya Hastha. The image - attributed to be one of the 750 images erected by Vysaraja, the Rajaguru of Vijayanagara rulers, in 1510 AD - is said to be the tallest in this area. The temple priest points to two memorial stones standing at Kabballi and narrates the story behind it. A tiger was frequently attacking the village and the residents could not kill it. Then the king himself went to end the troubles caused by the tiger and, both died. Hence, the memorial stone was installed.
