Reviews Of Mallikarjuna Temple

Pattadakal, Karnataka, India:
The Mallikarjuna Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a majestic structure built in the Dravidian style, remarkably similar in design, scale, and detailing to its larger neighbor, the Virupaksha Temple. It was commissioned around the same time in the 8th century CE (c. 745 CE) by Trilokyamahadevi, th e younger queen of Chalukya King Vikramaditya II, to commemorate his third victory over the Pallavas of Kanchipuram. The original name of the temple was Trilokyeshwara, named after the Queen who sponsored its construction. This temple is a quintessential example of the mature Dravidian architecture of the Early Chalukyas, featuring a square-plan sanctuary, an imposing tiered pyramidal superstructure (Vimana), and an extensive pillared hall (Mandapa). Its construction is believed to have inspired or influenced the later great temples of South India. The pillars inside the hall are richly carved with scenes from the great Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as popular fables from the Panchatantra and Kiratarjuniya. A notable relief carving in the porch depicts the powerful scene of Narasimha, the man-lion avatar of Lord Vishnu, slaying the demon Hiranyakashipu. The temple complex, though slightly smaller than Virupaksha, shares the same high artistic quality and historical significance, forming a crucial part of the Dravidian group of temples in Pattadakal.
