I was determined to revisit Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple, near Nandi Hills . Deeply intrigued in this temple, which had the patrons of south Indian dynasties: the Gangas, the Cholas, the Hoysalas and the Vijayanagara. What particularly pulled me here was the intricate work on the stones by the Hoysalas. (via Flickr: Bikash Das)

The Arunachaleshwara temple is said to represent the childhood phase of Shiva. The temple is said to be built by the Ganga dynasy when the Nolamba dynasty was overrun by the Ganga king Marasimha in 974 AD.
The temple houses a Linga carved out of black stone. Gaja Lakshmi adorns the lintel of the entrance while dancers and musicians are carved on both the sides of the main door. Outside the sanctum of Arunachaleshwara there is a unique murthi of Lord Ganesha called Simha Ganapathi or Ugra Ganapathi. In front of this temple is a Nandi made of granite inside a separate mantapa.
On the south side in the Pradakshina Patha, just behind the Vimana is the Apita Kuchamba sanctum, the consort of Arunachaleshwara. On all sides surrounding the garbhagudi are carvings of Shiva-Parvathi kalyana and the Saptharishis. (via Instagram: Panduranga Sharma B)
