Floor plan of the 13th-century Hoysala-style Mallikarjuna temple in Basaralu

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a JPEG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. An alternate SVG format (scalable vector graphics) version of this file – for web graphics, design studies, print, dynamic and interactive applications – has also been uploaded to wikimedia commons.

The drawing:

  • Basral or Basaralu is now a village about 27 kilometers north of Mandya city, Karnataka.
  • The Mallikarjuna temple is exquisitely carved three-sanctum Shiva temple. The quality of artwork here is similar to those found in Belur and Halebidu. Panels include those of Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism and Vedic deities. The lower bands depict scenes from the Mahabharata, Ramayana and Bhagavata Purana.
  • This is the floor plan of the Mallikarjuna temple at Basaralu.
  • The temple's architectural plan follows the square and circle principle found in historic Sanskrit texts.
  • GPS location of the monument:
12° 42′ 36.8″ N, 76° 49′ 02.1″ E Kartographer map based on OpenStreetMap.View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMapinfo
  • 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.
