The Mahadeva Temple at Itagi in Koppal District of Karnataka, is a highly ornate example of Chalukya style architecture.
Built in 1112 A.D. the Temple’s carvings, sculptures, pillars and tower is an excellent example of Western Chalukyan art and speaks volumes about the skills of the artisans in those days.

This is the earliest Vinayaka sculpture so far found in Tamilnadu. This belongs to the 5th century CE. It has Tamil Brahmi inscription underneath the vinayaka on the same slab. Before this was discovered during the time of temple renovation, Karpagam Vinayagar of Pillayar Patti was the earliest Vinayaka which belong to the sixth century.
This is found in Yama Thandeeswarar temple in the village of Alagramam in Villupuram district in Tamilnadu.

यह मंदिर लगभग 2000 साल पुराना है इस मंदिर का निर्माण राजा कारिकाल चोल ने करावाया था । मंदिर में निर्मित महादेव के अलग-अलग रूपों की आश्चर्यजनक प्रतिमाएं आज के इंजीनियरों के लिए एक चुनौती की तरह है ।
