Summary edit

Description
English: This photograph was taken by me at the Lad Khan temple (originally called Suryanarayana temple, built around 620 A.D) at Aihole, Karnataka state, India. The 8th century old-Kannada language inscription records a financial grant by a certain man to the "five hundred" (ainuru or ainurruvar), a great body of Chaturvedis (Brahmins) of Aihole (Aryapura).
