However, on stylistic grounds & the part played by the famous sculptor Mallitamma who built the Keshava temple at Somanathapura, Harnahalli, and Nuggihalli, it is generally that this temple at Javagal was built around 1250 CE during the reign of King Vira Someshwara.
This is a Trikuta with three Grabhagrahas but it has only one Shikara now at the west.
The temple houses Vishnu as Sridhara in the central shrine, Venugopala in the southern shrine, and Lakshminarasimha in the northern shrine.
