The Venugopala Swamy Temple located at Hosa Kannambadi, near Krishna Raja Sagara, is an example of Hoysala architecture in Karnataka, India.

Before the Krishna Raja Sagara dam project was conceived by M. Visvesvarayya in 1909, the temple complex was located in the village of Kannambadi.

[2] The main idol of Venugopalaswamy, Krishna playing on flute as a cow-herd, was shifted to a new temple in the rehabilitated village before the submersion.

[3] The complex was a symmetrical building enclosed by two 'prakaras' and the outer gate (Mahadwara) had verandahs on both sides, flanked by the yagasala and the kitchen.

However, the temple would resurface whenever the water levels in the reservoir dropped, typically during drought years.
