Navalinga Temple

Despite being constructed from inferior quality sandstone, the decorative finish is rich, though much of it is lost due to degradation of the shrine walls.

Each of the shrines has a Shiva linga in the sanctum, though the lintel above the entrance has an image of Gajalakshmi, the consort of God Vishnu.

[2] The pillars in the halls are of better quality than seen at Pattadakal, indicating an advancement of this art from the previous centuries.

[3] Architraves were popular and a very good example has survived and has two makaras (mythical beasts) with circular scales and florid tails.

The inscriptions mention grants to temples of various Hindu goddesses such as Chamundi, Ganga, Sarasvati, Kalikadevi and Mahamayi as well as God Mallikarjuna.
