Pattadakal temple


The Galaganatha temple (7th or 8th century AD) at Pattadakal, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Karnataka, India.

The Pattadakal monuments, states UNESCO, are notable for "a harmonious blend of architectural forms from northern and southern India" and illustrating "the apogee of an eclectic art". The Hindu temples are dedicated to Shiva, yet inclusively present Vaishnavism and Shaktism ideas, theology and legends.
