This Early Chalukyan temple in Aihole, India, faces east and belongs to circa 7th century CE.
It originally consisted of a hall supported by four central pillars and twelve pilasters and a mukhamandapa.
The garbhagriha was placed in central and back bays of the hall.
The temple was substantially modified in the 11th-12th century with the addition of a pidha type of shikhara and subsidiary shrines on the southwest corner in line with the original one.
