There are 10 major temples in Pattadakal, all dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temples contain elements of both South Indian (Dravidian) and North Indian (Nagara) styles of architecture. The timeless beauty and historical relevance of these temples saw them acquire the status of a world heritage site in 1987.
Four temples are constructed in the traditional Dravidian style of architecture, with another 4 temples containing elements of Nagara architecture. The remaining two temples are a confluence of both architectural styles. The entire city resonates with the power of Shiva and draws several thousand tourists to it every year.
Virupaksha Temple
Virupaksha Temple (previously known as Lokesvara Temple) is the largest temple in Pattadakal and the most popular one among tourists. It was built by Queen Lokamahadevi in the 8th century to commemorate the victory of her husband Vikramaditya II over the Pallavas.
The entire temple is adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions. The temple also houses several beautiful sculptures of Hindu gods, noteworthy for their remarkable craftsmanship. The inscriptions in the temple reveal that King Vikramaditya had employed an architect and a team of sculptors from the South to express his admiration for the art of the Pallavas.
The government of Karnataka organizes the annual Virupaksha temple car festival which draws large crowds every year.
