Suvarṇeśvara (सुवर्णेश्वर) is the name of a temple situated in Halasi—a town in Khanapur Taluk, Belgaum District in Karnataka, India. The town is notable for a series of medieval temples. The most famous are the Varāha Narasiṃha temple and Suvarṇeśvara temple in the town, and a third temple of Rāmeśvara. The Suvarṇeśvara temple is located at the eastern side of Halsi and enshrines a Śivaliṅga. The spire of the temple is missing, and the large temple hall preserves only the columns and lintels. The style is austere throughout with little sculpture but there are large figures of Nandi and Gaṇeśa. The building belongs to the 12th century.
