Aihole Temple
Aihole is a major archaeological site featuring over one hundred and twenty stone and cave temples spread along the Malaprabha river valley, in Bagalakote district. The documented history of Aihole is traceable to the rise of the Early Chalukya dynasty in 6th century.
Aihole has been a part of Hindu mythologies. It has a natural axe-shaped rock on the Malaprabha river bank north of the village, and a rock in the river show a footprint.Parashurama the sixth Vishnu avatar, is stated in these legends to have washed his axe here after avenging the death of his father .The blood and gore on the axe turned the river red. A woman saw this and screamed ‘Ayyo Hole’ or ‘Oh No Blood!’ in Kannada, hence the name Aihole. The Durga temple is the best known and studied of the Aihole temples
A 19th-century local tradition believed that rock footprints in the river were those of Parashurama. Aihole has historical significance and has been called a cradle of Hindu rock architecture.
Rayappa Kasi Aihole Temples, UNESCO, Aihole, Karnataka, India
Legend has it that Lord Parasuram, after avenging the death of his father came down to the river Malaprabha and washed his blood-stained hands and battle axe. The blood and gore on the axe turned the river red. A woman saw this and screamed ‘Ayyo Hole’ or ‘Oh No Blood!’ in Kannada, hence the name Aihole.
Aihole was once the capital of the Chalukya Dynasty, and is a city with a rich and illustrious history. It has great cultural significance as the cradle of Hindu temple architecture, and has more than 125 temples in and around it. Aihole is an archaeologists’ delight with several temples dating back to Chalukyan times. Excavation and investigation into the history of Aihole continues and several thousand tourists seek out the serene and spiritual ambiance of this city every year.
The Aihole Inscription, believed to have been composed by the Jain poet Ravikeerthi, is a great source for reconstructing the history of this period. It records the achievements of Pulakesi II, especially his victory against Harshavardhana, the ruler of Northern India.
The famous Chalukya King Pulakeshi II was follower of Jainism. Aihole inscription is dated 634 CE, in Sanskrit language and old Kannada script.
Aihole was once a center of architectural experiments by several gifted artisans, and the city is blessed with several beautifully crafted places of worship.
Ladh Khan Temple: This edifice was built by the Chalukyas and is named after a Muslim prince who converted it into his residence. This monument is evidence of the experimental nature of Chalukyan temple architecture. The temple was built in the Panchayat hall style with two sanctums. The main sanctum contains a Shiva Linga and a Nandi, whereas the second sanctum has intricate carvings on the outer wall. Both devotees and art lovers flock to this temple throughout the year.
Suryanarayana Temple: This temple dates back to the 7th century and has a four pillared inner sanctum with a Rekhanagara tower over it. It is especially famous for a 2 feet tall statue of Surya along with Usha and Sandhya, his consorts.
Gowda Temple: This temple was built in the 12th century and has architectural elements in common with the Ladh Khan temple. It is dedicated to the Goddess Bhagavathi. It has a high molded base and 16 pillars devoid of any carvings and adornments.
Chakragudi: At a distance of 300 meters from Aihole Bus Stand and 200 meters south of Durga Temple, Chakra Gudi is a 9th century temple on southern end of Durga Temple Complex.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple sikhara is built in Nagara style with a large mandapa of round pillars. The temple accompanies few good carvings on the doorway and the seating stones near entrance of the temple. The doorway has an image of Garuda holding two snakes. The temple sikhara is intact and attractive.
There is a pushkarini (temple tank) beside the Chakra Gudi.

14 kilometers away from Badami, Aihole is another historical place of Karnataka that has beautiful ancients temples situated on the banks of Malaprabha river , Sri Durga Temple is one of the famous temples of Aihole . . It is noted for its semicircular apsis, detailed sculptured art on the elevated plinth and the sculptured corridor that circumscribe the inner sanctum.

Aihole and Pattadakal Karnataka, India-Cradles of Architecture
There is a travelling exhibition called The Death of Architecture; Circa 2000 doing the rounds of our major cities and public places currently (July 2018). It is assembled by 13 of India’s thinking and concerned design practices of India.
I quote Aniket Bhagwat as under:
Through evocative art works, poetry and prose, the exhibition decodes and amplifies actions some which are orchestrated, others inconsiderate. Actions, that slowly tear and restructure the fabric of our cities and the architecture within and along with that impact our sense of being.
In a sense, it consolidates the many critical discussions that forms the dough which leads to design such as those about the demise of our cities as we know them, or the meaning of inspirations from the past, or ideas of beauty, or duplicitous ways of achieving identity, or ways of understanding spatiality.
allowed introspection and reinvention.
And increasingly it has lesser and lesser to do about making an impact on mankind and society at large. And
all the accompanying distractions have undercut the basic but primal joy of beautiful spaces, as if that was an irrelevant pursuit.
Architecture is a balm and even an opiate; it is a perspicuous, rational and intuitive structuring system that can create spatial arrangements in ways that can have bearing on intellectual and emotional deliberations that leave indelible impressions across time.
And yet today, its death is once again being whispered.
This video of Aihole and Pattadakal needs to be viewed in the above context.
In the plains of Northern Karnataka on the banks of the Malaprabha river are scattered ancient temples that played a major role in the evolution of temple architecture in South India.
Aihole is a historic site of ancient and medieval era Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monuments in north Karnataka (India) dated from the fourth century through the twelfth century. Aihole is 22 miles (35 km) from Badami and about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Pattadakal, both of which are major centers of historically important Chalukya monuments. Aihole, along with nearby Badami, emerged by the 6th century as the cradle of experimentation with temple architecture, stone artwork, and construction techniques. This resulted in 16 types of free-standing temples and 4 types of rock-cut shrines.The experimentation in architecture and arts that began in Aihole yielded the group of monuments at Pattadakal, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Over one hundred Aihole temples are Hindu, a few are Jain and one is Buddhist. These were built and coexisted in close proximity. The site is spread over about 5 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi). Both Hindu and Jain monuments include monasteries, as well as social utilities such as stepwell water tanks.
Pattadakal, is a complex of 7th and 8th century Hindu and Jain temples in northern Karnataka (India). Located on the west bank of the Malaprabha River in Bagalakote district, this UNESCO World Heritage site is 14 miles (23 km) from Badami and about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Aihole, both of which are historically significant centres of Chalukya monuments. The monument is a protected site under Indian law and is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India.
UNESCO has described Pattadakal as a harmonious blend of architectural forms from northern and southern India and an illustration of eclectic art at its height. The Hindu temples are generally dedicated to Shiva, but elements of Vaishnavism and Shaktism theology and legends are also featured. The friezes in the Hindu temples display various Vedic and Puranic concepts, depict stories from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, as well as elements of other Hindu texts, such as the Panchatantra and the Kiratarjuniya. The Jain temple is only dedicated to a single Jina.
