This is an historic place, once upon a time in history this place had more than 30 temples, and now all of them are buried under the sand. Archaeological department had done some work to uncover the sand, and five of the temples have been uncovered so far. This has been ruled by Hoisala dynasty, Ganga and Chalukya, and Mysore Vodeyars. It is said that the present state of Talakadu is because of curse by a lady, the curse is “May Talakad turn in to a barren expanse of Sand and May the Kings of Mysore not have children for all time to eternity” We can still see the traces of this curse in Vodeyar family and Talakad.
If you happen to come from Gaganachukki falls to here, as it is close by place, one thing you should remember is that it is not a worth place for all the trouble you take to come in that dam bad roads. Roads are so pathetic that you will feel like coming back half the way leaving the idea of visiting the place. If you wish to make a mark in your travel list you can visit this place. I had this strange feeling of being cursed after visiting this place, lot of people begging around you, and you don't enjoy this place, unless you are not sensitive to these things. Temples are also being surrounded by beggars. When you walk on the sand you will have this strange feeling that you are walking over one of the ancient temple. When I came back from here back to Bangalore I met with a Major Accident, I can't say whether accident happened because of the curse or I am saved because of visiting this temple. But then it was a very bad experience visiting this place. Taking a dip in Cauvery River is all that you can do visiting this place. If you ask me, I don't recommend this place.
