The most sophisticated historical temple in the village, it is considered to be the flag-bearer of Hoysala architecture and was built by a wealthy patron named Buchi during the reign of king Ballala.

Artworks of Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism and the Vedic deities are reverentially displayed, along with panels depicting scenes from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana.

The temple is to the north of the village and was built in 1173 CE by a rich officer called Buci (or Buchiraja).

[6] All temples in this village follow the square plan per the classical Sanskrit texts on Hindu architecture.

Dhaky – a scholar known for his studies on Indian temple architecture, states that the Bucesvara is "in severak respects a truly notable building".

[5] In the main interconnected long temple, the sanctum contains an image of Surya (the Sun god in Hinduism).

[3][5][8] The shikara is beautifully executed with detailed carving, a fine example of Nataraja with the Hoysala crest,[6] and near perfect kalasa at the very top.

[5][8][11] These images include among others: Bhairava (a version of the god Shiva), the goddess Saraswati and Durga, Maheshvara, Narasimha, Brahma, and Venugopala.
