In 2000 Kirloskar chose to invest elsewhere, leaving thousands of people jobless.There is famous temple built in 13th century during Hoysala's time called Harihareshwara temple, from which the city derives its name.The god Harihareshwara is a combination of god Shiva and Vishnu. There is an interesting story behind avatara of this god. In ancient days this place was known as Guharanya. A dense jungle and habitat of a demon Guhasura. He had a boon that no Human or Rakshasa or God can kill him. And he started harassing people around this place. Then Vishnu and Shiva came together in a new avatara called Hari – Hara (Harihara) and killed demon Guhasura. That’s how this place has got name Harihar. Every year the Car festival shall be celebrated with great enthusiasm and lots of people participate.The harihareshwari temple is said to be built by Jakanachari in only one day. He could not complete certain carvings which are still evidently left in half way.Harihar is such a central part of karnataka that no other city or town in the state is more than 450KM away from here.Also at Harihar there is Raghavendra Swamy Temple. And also hosts famous church.the uniqueness of this church is that it has built without any pillars and it is the second largest church in Karnataka. The town serves as a major Industrial base also. Although Kirloskar Engineering company has closed down, resulting in a loss of nearly 15,000 jobs, there are still 2 units of Grasim Industries run by Kumaramangalam Birla - the first unit is named as Harihar Polyfibers and the other unit is Graslene division. Apart from these heavy industries, there are a number of other engineering and small manufacturing industries, not to forget the famous brick kiln Industries in the region. The major lifeline of this small town is the Tungabhadra river, which continues to be exploited and polluted as a result of heavy industrialization.Mother Mary's Church in Harihar is also very famous and attracts many pilgrims not only from various parts of the Karnataka, but also from neighboring states.
