According to another account, Dewan Purniah (from 1799-1813), the first Dewan of Mysore, built this temple as per the wishes of King Krishnaraja Wodeyar, using materials from a ruined Hoysala temple in Shimoga.
A stone-bridge, dedicated to Marquess of Wellesley, the Governor General was constructed across river Kaveri connecting Srirangapattana with Kirangur.
