Museums & Museology

Among the most splendid examples of Deccan architecture are the temples dating from the 11th and 12th centuries in central Karnataka associated with the Late Chalukya kings and queens, their governors and commanders. The architectural sophistication of these Hindu and Jain monuments is revealed in the astonishingly intricate designs of shrines at Gadag, Annigeri, Lakkundi, Itagi and Lakshmeshwar, the star-shaped tower at Dambal, and the unique, temple-like retaining walls of the stepwell at Sudi. To these must be added the exquisite stone carvings preserved in sanctuaries at Gadag, Sudi, Savadi and Kuruvatti. The first ever illustrated introduction to these marvels of Karnataka’s temple architecture and art, this guidebook should prove useful to scholars and students, as well as to general visitors.
