It is called Shri Lokeshvara Mahasila Prasada in inscriptions, named after its sponsor Queen Lokmahadevi, and it is dated to about 740 CE. The temple is notable for its range and quality of construction, as a paradigmatic example of perfected Dravidian architecture, as well as the inscriptions and names of the artists carved beneath the panels they worked on.
The Virupaksha temple faces east, has a square garbha griya (sanctum) with a Shiva Linga. Around the sanctum, the temple has a covered circumabulatory path (pradakshina patha). In front of the sanctum is an antarala with two small shrines. Therein are Ganesha and Parvati in her Durga aspect as Mahishasuramardini killing the buffalo demon. They are oriented to face each other. The Nandi pavillion is outside, aligned to east-west axis, as are the mandapa and the antechamber.

Badami Chalukyas was founded in 540 AD by Pulakeshin I (535-566 AD), an early ruler of the Chalukyas is generally regarded as the founder of the Early Chalukya line. An inscription record of this king engraved on a boulder in Badami records the fortification of the hill above Vatapi in 544. Pulakeshin's choice of this location for his capital was no doubt dedicated by strategic considerations since Badami is protected on three sides by rugged sandstone cliffs. His sons Kirtivarman I (567-598 AD) and his brother Mangalesha (598-610 AD) constructed the cave temples.Kirtivarman I strengthened Vatapi and had three sons Pulakeshin II, Vishnuvardhana and Buddhavarasa, who at his death were minors, thus making them ineligible to rule, so Kirtivarman I's brother Mangalesha took the throne and tried to establish rule, only to be killed by Pulakeshin II who ruled between 610 A.D to 642 A.D. Vatapi was the capital of the Early Chalukyas, who ruled much of Karnataka, Maharashtra, parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh between the 6th and 8th centuries. The greatest among them was Pulakeshin II (610-642 AD) who defeated many kings including the Pallavas of Kanchipuram.
Old Kannada inscription of Chalukya King Mangalesha dated 578 CE at Badami cave temple no.3
The rock-cut Badami Cave Temples were sculpted mostly between the 6th and 8th centuries.

Temples at Pattadakal
Pattadakal ( Pattada-Kisuvolal of the Inscriptions) where the early chalukyan kings used to be crowned, is one of the three great centres of experimentation in temple construction. The other tow being Aihole and Badami. It is here that the Rekhanagara prasada and Dravida Vimana styles of temple architecture were given their final form. The papanatha, kasivisvesvara,jambulinga and galaganatha temples noted for their curvilinear sikkara represent the former style, while the mallikarjuna, sangamesvara and viupaksha temples having a square roof of receding tiers represent the latter. The lokesvara(virupaksha) and trailokeshwara (mallikarjuna) built respectively by lokamahadevi and trailokamahadevi, the queens of Vikramaditya II. To Commemorate his victory over the pallavas of kanchi are dated 740-45 A.D on the basis of the pillar inscription put up to record a grant to the vijayesvara(Sangamesvara temple).
The early chalukyan sculptural art noted for its grace and vigour, rich imagination and delicate details is best represented in the pampanatha, virupaksha and mallikarjuna temples where besides Gods, Demi-Gods and Human Figures, narratives from the 'The Ramayana', Mahabharata and The Bhagvatha can be seen
A Brick pillared mandapa of the late satavahana period ( 3rd - 4th century A.D) laid bare in front of the sangamesvara temple in 1970 A.D by the Archaeological survey of India marks the earliest attempt to build temples at pattadakal. The latest one being the jaina temple of the Rashtrakuta period ( 9th Century A.D)
