Kolanupaka This remote village about 80 km north-west of Hyderabad became an important centre for Jainism and Veera Saivism in the 11th century. It was patronized by the Western Chalukyas who ruled over northern Karnataka and this adjacent Andhra region. Temples in and around Gadag in the Tungabhadra-Krishna Doab are considered representative of the Western Chalukyan style that formed the foundation for temple architecture under the Hoysalas in Karnataka and the Kakatiyas in Andhra Pradesh. (Thanks to Kathy Brobeck for pointing out Kolanupaka's Veera Saiva links). |
