Kalale Dalavais occupied prominent position in both Vijayanagar Empire and the kings of Yadhuvamsha of Mysore. There are documentary evidences to show that Kalale enjoyed some prominence due to its proximity to kings until about 1831. Mysore kings appear to have devoted much attention for improvement of Lakshmikanthaswamy temple. The Mysore king's insignias like Shanka (Conch), Chakra (wheel) and Mathsya (fish) are available in the temple.

The present Lakshmikanthaswamy temple appears to have been built in 3 stages in 1300AD, 1350AD and 1500AD and built in Dravidian style over a wide plot of 100 × 200 ft. The five-storied main Gopuram of the temple is of 50 ft height with 5 Kalashas. This temple is considered as an ancient protected monument by Archaeological Department of Government of Karnataka.^{[citation needed]}
