About

The Trikuteshwara Temple in Gadag is a splendid example of 11th-century Kalyani Chalukya architecture. The name derives from three towers ('tri-kuta') clustered together, which create a striking skyline.

The temple is famous for its intricate star-shaped platform (stellate plan) and exquisite sculptures. It is the prototype temple of the 'Gadag style' of architecture, which blends Dravida and Nagara elements into a unique synthesis found across the Karnataka-Andhra border region.
