English: Photograph of the Durga Temple at Aihole, in the Bijapur District of Northern Karnataka, taken by Burgess, James in 1874.
This view shows the Durga Temple, a large and elaborate Hindu temple belonging to the late 7th century of the Chalukya period. The temple has an apsidal-ended plan, is elevated on a platform and surrounded by an open colonnade. The pillars of the porch are carved with medallions, jewels and garlands and the outer columns have guardian figures and amorous couples. Around the pillared porch there are many slabs with sculptures representing divinities and amorous couples. Only a fragment of the tower over the sanctuary is still standing. More information: The 7th century temple and the nearby monuments have been cleaned up and debris removed. |
