==History==<br />
The Lakshmikanta temple was under the patronage of some of the kings of the [[Mysore Kingdom]]. It was expanded and lavish grants were made by king [[Dodda Krishnaraja I]] of the Mysore [[Wodeyar dynasty]] before c.1732.<ref name="lakshmi">Sampath, Vikram, (2008), ''Splendours of Royal Mysore'', Chapter: ''The Dalavoy Regime AD 1704-1734'', Section:''Decline of the Wodeayrs'', Rupa Publications,</ref> In the early 18th century, ''Dalavoy'' (feudal lord) Devarajiah of the powerful Kalale family donated the impressive metallic figure of the Hindu god [[Rama]] to the temple during his last years.<ref name="rama">Conjeeveram Hayavadana Rao (Rao Sahib), Benjamin Lewis Rice (1930), p328, ''Historical'', Government Press, Mysore</ref> According to Habib, Hasan and Sampath, in 1791, the de facto ruler of Mysore, [[Tipu Sultan]], gave the temple gifts in silver including four cups, a plate and a [[spittoon]] (''padiga''). Habib and Hasan claim the inscriptions on the gifts itself provides evidence that the gifts were made by "Tipu Sultan Bahshah".<ref name="spitoon">Sampath, Vikram, (2008), ''Splendours of Royal Mysore'', Chapter: ''The Sword of Tipu Sultan AD 1791-1799'', Section:''The Controversial Sultan'', Rupa Publications,</ref><ref name="padiga">Habib, Irfan (2002), p118, ''Confronting Colonialism: Resistance and Modernization Under Haidar Ali & Tipu Sultan'', Anthem Press, London, {{ISBN|1-84331-024-4}}</ref><ref name="hasan">Hasan, Mohibbul (1951), p360, ''History of Tipu Sultan'', Aakar Books, Delhi, {{ISBN|81-87879-57-2}}</ref><br />
