Navalinga Temple : ウィキペディア英語版 | Navalinga Temple
The Navalinga temple is a cluster of Hindu temples built in the 9th century, during the reign of King Amoghavarsha I or his son Krishna II of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty. The temple is located in the town of Kukkanur (also called Kuknur), north of Itagi in Koppal district and east of Gadag in Karnataka state, India. Built in the South Indian ''dravida'' style, each of the nine temples in the cluster has a ''linga'', the universal symbol of Hindu God Shiva, and hence the name ''Navalinga'' (''lit'' nine ''lingas'').〔Cousens (1926), p. 74〕 ==General plan==
A clusters of temples, the ''Navalinga'' group appears to have been placed asymmetrically, without any particular order. 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.〔Cousens (1926), p. 75〕 Each of the shrines has a South Indian style ''shikhara'' (superstructure). The ensemble has four ''mantapas'' (hall) in all, three of which are in a line going east-west and open to the shrines. 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.〔
