About

The small town of Kuknoor in Koppal district hides a magnificent group of 11th-12th century temples built by the Kalyani Chalukyas. The temples demonstrate the mature Gadag style of Deccan architecture.

The main Kalleshwara Temple is remarkable for its richly carved tower and mandapa. These temples remain relatively off the tourist trail, preserving their serene, undisturbed atmosphere.
