About
Chaudayyadanapura Mukteshwara Temple is a notable 12th-century Kalyani Chalukya temple on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in Haveri district. The temple combines bold structural composition with refined sculptural detail.
The shikhara follows the Rekha Nagara style, while the mantapa is supported by intricately carved pillars. Exterior wall panels feature mithunas (loving couples), musician celestials, and guardian images. The river setting adds to its spiritual ambiance.
