The village which was nourished by rulers of Cholas till the Mysore Wadiyar dynasty, is now in a state of dilapidation.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Among more than 196 temples with history of thousand years in Karnataka, three of them in Agara have found their importance. About 15 temples are found around 300 meters of diameter of the village which were constructed during reign of Cholas, Kadamba, Ganga, Chalukya, Rashtrakuta, Hoysala, Vijayanagara and Wadiyars of Mysore. Rameshwara temple in Dravidian style on National highway is one among these temples which has entrance at West and East with a pond Honnuhole in front of it. <br /><br />Writer Agaram Rangaiah gave priority in renovating the temple.
