[edit]Description12th century Mahadeva temple, Ittagi Karnataka.jpg |
English: Location of this monument:
The Mahadeva temple is a complex of monuments that includes a major temple, several small shrines, a stepwell water tank, a matha (Hindu monastery) and a sala (school) from the 12th-century. According to an inscription in the Saraswati matha, the ensemble was completed in 1112 CE by Mahadeva Dandanayaka, a military commander under Vikramaditya VI (Kalyani Chalukya dynasty). The pre-14th century silpins (artisans, architects) were so impressed by the ground plan, design, symmetry, the extent and the precision of artwork, and the aesthetics, that they called this temple as the Devalaya Chakravarti (lit. "emperor of temples") in Gadag-Lakkundi region. This is a JPEG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible. Note: Please do not overwrite this file.
