Halu Rameshwara and the Wishing-Well and rare temple of Kurma avatar temple of lord Vishnu.



Halu Rameshwara near Hosadurga, well known for its temple and named for the milky water in its wells
the centre of attraction is inside the temple which the ‘wishing-well’. Halu remeshwara temple is lord shiva temple.

The temple has two structures – the main and the bigger one at the entrance of the temple compound and the smaller one at the back. The wishing-well is inside the smaller structure.  According to the legend, when the wife of one of the Mysore Maharajas did not beget a child even after years of wedlock, she visited the temple and performed a puja in the temple. At no time, a miniature replica of a cradle popped up from deep inside the well! Soon the Maharani gave birth to a baby!

The centre of attraction undoubtedly is the wishing-well.To witness the miracle, one has to buy a coupon from the office and hand it over to the gatekeeper of the well. The coupons were numbered and the devotees would be called in serial order (unless, of course, you are a VIP) to offer the puja.
  
It is said that whoever wishes a good things their wishes come true. This temple is said that who ever is not having babies their wish to have a baby will come true after coming to this temple.
