Pattadakal IndiaCategory:- All India Travel Tourism > City Guide > Karnataka > Pattadakal Situated on the left bank of the Malaprabha river, Pattadakal - the last Chalukyan capital, and now, a world heritage centre - has ten major temples, representing early Chalukyan architecture. The biggest temple here, dedicated to Virupaksha, has a massive gateway, and several inscriptions. In front of the temple is a majestic 2.6 m high Nandi, in deep green stone, covered in a floral red cape. Exquisitely chiselled, the Papanatha, Virupaksha and Mallikarjuna temples are prime specimens of early Chalukyan sculptural art. The earliest experiment here is a brick-pillared mandapa (3rd-4th century) in front of the Sangameswara Temple. The latest is a Jain Temple (9th century AD) from the Rashtrakuta period. The Rekhanagara and Prasada styles can be seen together with the Dravida Vimana style. The stone used here is sandstone with a beautiful pink tinge, that almost catches fire as it were, as the sun sets. Scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Bhagvata Purana are depicted in these temples. How To Get There By Rail : The nearest railhead is Badami (29 km). By Road : Pattadakal is connected by road with Badami (29 km), Bijapur (17 km) and Aihole (17 km). When To Visit Anytime from October to February.
