Chandramanleshvar Temple, Unkal, Karnataka Built in 12th century CE, the Chandramanleshvar Temple at Unkal, in Hubli district of Karnataka, is a fine example of Western Chalukyan architecture. Facing east, it consists of a garbhagriha with a pradakshinapatha (circumambulatory path), an antarala, a mukhamandapa, and a navaranga designed in the sarvatobhadra form. Though the navaranga is now in ruins, the temple still preserves richly carved architectural details. . The doorways are elaborately framed with panchasakha moldings, adorned with dwarapalas and lintel images of Gajalakshmi and Sarasvati. Intricate jalandharas display entwined Naga-Nagini figures, dancers, and musicians. The outer walls are articulated with pilasters, niches crowned by miniature shikharas, and sculptures of Brahma, Vishnu with his incarnations and Shiva in his different forms. The adhishthana features decorative friezes of elephants, horses, and scrollwork, showcasing the refined ornamental style of the Western Chalukyas. Source: Archaeological Survey of India
