Ramalingeshwara group of temples, Avani : ウィキペディア英語版
Ramalingeshwara group of temples, Avani

The Ramalingeshwara group of temples (also spelt ''Ramalingeshvara'' or ''Ramalingesvara'' and sometimes referred to as ''Rameshvara'' group), situated in Avani town of the Kolar district, Karnataka state, India, is constructed in the ''dravida style''. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the temple is an ornate 10th-century Nolamba dynasty construction which was partially renovated later by the Chola dynasty. The temple is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India as a monument of national importance.
==Historical Background==
Avani is a place of great antiquity. According to the ASI, an inscription here dated 399 A.D. refers to it. Later inscriptions call it the "Gaya of the south". Legend has it that Avani was the abode of the Hindu saint Valmiki (author of the epic Ramayana) and that the Hindu god Rama visited Avani during his return to Ayodhya from Sri Lanka. According to the legend, Rama's sons Lava and Kusha were born here on an existing hill (called "Lava-Kusha betta" in native Kannada) a short distance from the temple complex.〔
According to the art historian Madhusudan Dhaky, Nolamba temple constructions exist in the region historically known as "Nolambavadi", a region to the east of Gangavadi (a region in south Karnataka) but west of Andhradesa (modern Andhra Pradesh). He dates the temple to the early 10th century.〔Dhaky (1977), p6〕 According to the art historian James Harle, the earliest structure within the walled enclosure (''prakara'') may actually be what is known as the Shatrugnalineshwara shrine (or "Shatrugneshvara") and was built by the Western Ganga dynasty of Talakad (based on an Ganga inscription on the premises). This was soon followed by the Lakshmanalingeshwara shrine. According to Harle, this is the earliest example of a group of shrines with an outer wall enclosure in the Karnataka state.〔Harle (1986), p183〕
