Sri Mahakooteswar Temple Near Badami
The Mahakuta group of temples is located in Mahakuta, a village in the Bagalkot district, a few kilometers away from Badami of Karnataka state, India. It is an important place of worship for Hindus and the location of a well-known Shaiva monastery. The temples were constructed by the early kings of the Chalukya dynasty of Badami.
The Mahakuta Group of Temples was built during the 6th to 8th century AD. The temples share the common Chalukya style found in Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal. The two inscriptions discovered in the Mahakuteswara temple make it an important site for historians.
Mahakuta is a place of religious and historic significance. The temples here are in the Badami Chalukyan style, reflecting the designs of temples in Aihole. Of special significance to historians are the two inscriptions found here- the Pillar Inscription and the Porch Inscription. The Pillar Inscription, especially, helps in the reconstruction of the Chalukyan Dynasty’s history.
Pillar Inscription Mahakuta also provides historians with two important inscriptions. The first one is a pillar inscription called Dharmavijayastambha. It dates back to Pulakesi I and records a grant of ten villages made by his queen Durlabhadevi to Lord Mahakuteswara. Interestingly, the villages include Pattadakal and Aihole. This inscription also records some details about the Chalukya lineage and their military expeditions and achievements.
Porch Inscription The other inscription, recorded on the porch of the Mahakuteswara temple, speaks of a grant of rubies and silver umbrella made to the Lord by a concubine of Vijayaditya, named Vinapoti.
These temples were built by the Badami Chalukyas, and reflect the Aihole style of temple building. The Chalukya style is a hybrid of the Nagara and Dravidian styles. The temples have tiered or curvilinear towers over the sanctum.
The most important temple here is the Mahakuteswara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. It has a Shiva Linga in the shrine topped by a curvilinear tower. It is built in the Dravidian style. In the temple courtyard, there are several other small temples. There is a Nandi in front. The wall niches are decorated with carvings of various forms of Lord Shiva. There is a natural spring-fed tank inside the temple complex called Vishnu Pushkarini.
The Mallikarjuna temple on the other side of the tank is very similar to the Mahakuteswara temple. It has beautiful carvings on the walls and on the ceilings.
Mahakuta is 460 km away from Bangalore. You can reach Badami by rail or road. From Badami you can easily reach Mahakuta by local bus services.

Rayappa Kasi Sangameswara Temple, UNESCO, Pattadakal, India
Sangameshwara temple, also called the Vijayeshvara temple, is a large, Dravida style east facing temple and immediately on the south side of the Chandrashekhara temple. The temple is dated to between 720 CE and 733 CE based on inscription and other evidence. It was left unfinished after its patron king Vijayaditya died in 734 CE, but work resumed intermittently in later centuries. The Badami Chalukyas reign saw other important Sangameshwara temples during their 543-757 CE reign, such as the one at KuDavelli and Alampur. The inscriptions found in this and other temples mention sponsor names from different centuries, some of them Hindu queens, suggesting early medieval era women were actively supporting the temple architecture and arts.
The temple is of imposing proportions with a crisp repeated square plan layout, though it is not the largest among the Pattadakal monuments. Its sanctum faces east for sunrise, housing a Shiva Linga. A Nandi faces the Linga sanctum to the east of the hall in front. The sanctum is surrounded by a covered pradakshina patha (circumambulatory path), the passageway lit by three carved windows. In front of the sanctum shrine is a vestibule with smaller shrines said to have been with Ganesha and Durga, but those images are now missing. Beyond the vestibule is a mandapa (hall space) with sixteen (4x4) massive pillars, which may have been added later.[
The vimana superstructure above the temple and the outer walls of the temple are well preserved. The superstructure over the sanctum is two tiered and crowned with a square kuta-sikhara and kalasha on the top. The temple walls show many devakostha (niches) with images of Vishnu and Shiva carved, some of which in different stages of completion. The temple is built on a raised moulded basement, with decorative friezes of elephant, yali and makara mythical creatures. Finely detailed friezes of ganas (playful dwarfs) run above the kapota (eaves), with the ganas shown as if struggling to hold the weight of the temple structure. The parapet displays hara (various kinds of string in Hindu temple texts). Included hara styles include karnakutas (square) and salas (oblong) that flow with the design below them and decorated with kudus.
The temple presents Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism themes. The Shaiva iconography carved in stone include dancing Nataraja, Ardhanarishvara (half Shiva, half Parvati as essential halves of each other), Shiva with Bhringi, Shiva spearing demon Andhaka and Lakulisha. The Vaishnava iconography include avatars of Vishnu such as Varaha lifting goddess earth (Bhudevi). The temple is archaeologically significant as parts of its foundation of its ruined hall were excavated between 1969 and 1971. It yielded evidence of a brick temple structure, leading to the proposal that the site had more ancient brick temple from possibly the 3rd century CE which was replaced with the Sangameshwara temple.

Pattadakal (ಪಟ್ಟದ್ಕಲ್ಲು) Temples, Karnataka || UNESCO World Heritage Site..
Pattadakal, also called Paṭṭadakallu or Raktapura, is a complex of 7th and 8th century Hindu and Jain temples in Karnataka, India. Located on the west bank of the Malaprabha River in Bagalakote district, this is a UNESCO World Heritage site 23 km from Badami and 10 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 (ASI).

4) Chandrashekhara Temple
5) Sangameshwara Temple
6) Kashi Vishwanatha Temple
7) Mallikarjuna Temple

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 Kirātārjunīya. The Jain temple is only dedicated to a single Jina. The most sophisticated temples, with complex friezes and a fusion of Northern and Southern styles, are found in the Papanatha and Virupaksha temples. The Virupaksha temple is an active house of Hindu worship.

The Badami cave temples are a complex of four Hindu, Jain and possibly Buddhist cave temples located in Badami, a town in the Bagalkot district in northern part of Karnataka, India. The caves are considered an example of Indian rock-cut architecture, especially Badami Chalukya architecture, which dates from the 6th century. Badami was previously known as Vataapi Badami, the capital of the early Chalukya dynasty, which ruled much of Karnataka from the 6th to the 8th century. Badami is situated on the west bank of an artificial lake ringed by an earthen wall with stone steps; it is surrounded on the north and south by forts built in later times.
The Badami cave temples represent some of the earliest known examples of Hindu temples. UNESCO has described the designs of the Badami cave temples, and those in Aihole, as having transformed the Malaprabha River valley into a cradle of temple architecture that defined the components of later Hindu temples elsewhere in India.
Caves 1 to 4 are in the escarpment of the hill in soft Badami sandstone formation, to the south-east of the town. In Cave 1, among various sculptures of Hindu divinities and themes, a prominent carving is of the Tandava-dancing Shiva as Nataraja. Cave 2 is mostly similar to Cave 1 in terms of its layout and dimensions, featuring Hindu subjects of which the relief of Vishnu as Trivikrama is the largest. The largest cave is Cave 3, featuring Vishnu-related mythology, and it is also the most intricately carved cave in the complex. Cave 4 is dedicated to revered figures of Jainism. Cave 5 may be a Buddhist cave. Another cave was discovered in 2015, about 500 metres (1,600 ft) from the four main caves, with 27 Hindu carvings.
