The Arakeshwara Temple is a Hindu temple in Hale Yedatore. The present temple complex dates back at least to early 19th century rule of the Mysore Kingdom and is built in typical dravidian style. According to the British Raj era historian and epigraphist B. Lewis Rice, the temple was endowed by Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar III, the ruler of the princely Mysore, during the British rule over India. However, the original temple as such is much older, of the era of Kulottunga Chola I. The Arakeshwara temple is a protected monument under the Karnataka state division of the Archaeological Survey of India.
