Keladi (Kannada:ಕೆಳದಿ) is a temple town in Shimoga district of the state of Karnataka in India.

History

This was the capital city of the Kingdom of Keladi, a feudatory of Vijayanagara Empire. After the disintegration of Vijayanagara Empire in the Battle of Talikota, the Keladi Nayakas created an independent kingdom and it remained so until it was annexed to Mysore Kingdom by Hyder Ali.

Shivappa Nayaka and Chennamma were the rulers of this kingdom.

There is a Rameshwara temple at Keladi which is built in the Hoysala-Dravida style.
