Banashankari temple at Amargol
[edit]
Near to the Banashankari Temple at Amargol there is a temple of Shankarlinga built by Jakkanacharya.
In the early 13th century, the temples of this period have nagara articulation, built in the stepped diamond and the square plan natural to a nagara superstructure. Notable among temples with a stepped-diamond style are the Ganesha Temple at Hangal, the Banashankari Temple at Amargol (which has one dravida shrine and one nagara shrine), and a small shrine that is a part of the ensemble at the Mahadeva Temple (Itagi).
Conservation and restoration work is in progress. It belongs to the Archaeological Survey of India.[5]
