Hale Yedatore, a village in the Krishnaraja Nagara taluk of the

Kannada language words, yeda (lit, "left") and tore (lit, "river") – a name that arises from the "bend to the left" made by the river at that spot which is considered sacred by Hindus. There are steps leading from the temple down to the bathing areas ("ghats") by the river.[2]
Yedatore village was severely damaged in the 1920s from the flood waters of the River Kaveri, prompting the Mysore ruler to build the new town, named Krishnarajanagar, little southerly on an elevated land.

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

princely Mysore, during the British rule over India. However, the original temple as such is much older, of the era of Kulottunga Chola I.[3] The Arakeshwara temple is a protected monument under the Karnataka state division of the Archaeological Survey of India.[4]

Yadatore Sri Yogandeshwara Saraswathi samasthanam in Krishnarajanagar, Mysore District is also located on the banks of Kaveri, opposite to Arakeshwara Temple, westerly. Yadatore Shri Mutt is one of several institutions that follow Sri Shankara’s adhvaita tradition. Many highly learned ascetics adorned this Peeta, which has a history of more than 700 years. Of them Sri Rama Brahmanda, who installed a very rare idol of Sri Chaturbhuja Pattabhirama and Sri Neelakanteshwara at Holenarasipura on the banks of river Hamavathi, is of legendary fame.[5]
