Trikuteshwara Temple, Gadag

The carved temple[1][2] is in the town of Gadag, 50 km southeast of Hubli-Dharwad, in Karnataka, India.

[citation needed] The Badami Chalukyas were exponents of early architectural achievements in Deccan.

There is a shrine to Saraswati within the Trikuteshwara temple complex, with exquisite stone columns.

Inclined slabs that serve as balcony seats are decorated with figurative panels and are overhung by steeply angled eaves.

The east sanctorum has three lingas representing Brahma, Maheshwara and Vishnu; the one to the south is dedicated to the goddess Saraswati.
