Summary
[edit]Description7th century Sangameshwara Temple, Alampur, Telangana India - 12.jpg |
English: The Sangameswara temple is a mid 7th-century Chalukya-era, Nagara-style temple but one that includes some South Indian innovations. It is a gandhara-type Hindu architecture, with a gudha mandapa, antarala and garbhagriya. The makara, fala and four-storey sikhara are all notable features of this temple, as are the jala (or jali) stone windows that include wheels, chequer and swastika motifs. The reliefs on pillars and walls depict Hindu legends from the epics and the Puranas.
The Ganga, Yamuna, Shiva, Padma Nidhi and mithuna (kama) reliefs here are some significant early artworks here, as is the trisakha entrance of the mandapa. Other carvings of note are of Ganesha and Nataraja. Several early inscriptions are found in temple. The Sangameshwara temple is now in Alampur village. It was located for nearly 1,300 years in Kudavalli village, named after the sangam (confluence) of Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers. The precautionary measures for Srisailam project reservoir led to its transplantation about 20 kilometers southwest to Alampur village, already famous for early Chalukya temples of the same era. The Sangameshwara temple is about 0.65 kilometer west from the Alampur group of temples. |
