Kalleswara Temple, Bagali, Karnataka..


Sri Kalleswara Temple, Bagali, Karnataka

The construction of the temple shrine and closed mantapa was completed in the late Rashtrakuta empire period (mid-10th century). The ornate open mantapa was built by Western (Kalyani) Chalukya King Tailapa II in 987 A.D. One can see the two distinct styles of Rasthrakuta AND Chalukyan architecture , i mean fusion of two architectural styles. Must visit place in Karnataka.
