12th century Mahadeva temple, Itagi, South India
Mahadeva temple Itagi, South India Sharing another temple from the Gadag, Lakkundi series. The Mahadeva temple is equally spectacular. Located in Itagi around 35kms from Gadag, this temple is devoted to Lord Shiva. Built in the early 12th century by Mahadeva, who was a commander in the army of Chalukya King Vikramaditya, this temple has some beautiful carvings. I wonder how the engineers and artisans in the ancient times managed to carve out such beauties, especially when there was no electricity or sophisticated instruments. It is amazing!
