Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: 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 architecture; the other two 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, Kasivisveshvara, Jambulinga, and Galaganatha temples, noted for their curvilinear sikhara, represent the former style, while the Mallikarjuna, Sangameshvara, and Virupaksha temples, having a square roof of receding tiers, represent the latter. The Lokeshvara (Virupaksha) and Trailokeshvara (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. The early Chalukyan sculptural art, noted for its grace and vigour, rich imagination, and delicate details, is best represented in the Papanatha, Virupaksha and Mallikarjuna temple, where besides gods, demi-gods and human figures, narratives from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavata can be seen. |
