Summary
Description6th century Ladkhan temple, Nandi in lower mandapa, Aihole Hindu monuments Karnataka.jpg |
English: Aihole temples and monuments, also called Aivalli or Ayyavole or Aiholi temples and monuments, are a collection of over 100 temples built predominantly between 6th and 8th century near Malaprabha river in Karnataka. At this point, the river turns northwards towards the Himalayas which likely had significance as a location.
Though defaced and damaged after the region was conquered by Muslim commanders of the Delhi Sultanate, the collection is one of the earliest surviving temples and window to ancient Indian arts, religious beliefs, society and architecture. Almost all temples are related to Hinduism, but these co-exist with a few Jain temples of this period and one Buddhist monument. Both north Indian and south Indian styles fuse here, with monuments suggesting experimentation of ideas and building styles under the sponsorship of late Gupta period Hindu kingdoms, particularly the Calukyas and Rashtrakutas. The Ladkhan temple is named after a Bijapur Sultanate Muslim commander that occupied this site, and lived in this temple for a while to conduct his military campaign in the region, nearly a thousand years after these temples had been existence. It was originally a Hindu temple. The garbha ghriya is dedicated to Shiva with a linga anicon. In the sabha-mandapa is Nandi facing the linga. The main mandapa has various Vedic and Puranic gods and goddesses from Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism traditions. The upper level has images of Vishnu, Surya and Ardhanarishvara (half Shiva, half Parvati). The temple has intricate carvings of Hindu symbols and icons, royal emblem, Kama and Artha scenes notable for lover couples under trees and scenes from Hindu mythology. |
