The #NanneshwaraTemple (also spelled Nanesvara or Naneshwara) is located in #Lakkundi village of the #GadagDistrict in #Karnataka. This 11th-century temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The architecture reflects the later Chalukya style. Nanneshwara temple consists of Garbhagraha, half mantapa, navaranga and in the front open mukhamantapa. Shivalinga is installed in the Garbhagraha and at East and South of navaranga there are two entrance gates. The pillers in the navaranga are smooth and glassy in which we can see our reflection. On outer walls are Koshta Panjaras. Main entrance gate of the navaranga has lot of carvings. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sdKe1h1Nw/?igshid=13fxt2btb7vaa

The 7 Horsed Chariot of the SuryaDev (Sun God) at the sun temple in Lakkundi! #Lakkundi in Gadag district once had 101 temples and an equal number of step wells - both Jain and Hindu! Over a period of centuries, invasions and nature took its toll and now there are around 11-12 temples ans a couple of stepwells left. The ASI and the State Archaeology departments maintain them very well. What’s more, there is a world class museum in the sleepy little hamlet of Lakkundi too! https://www.instagram.com/p/B12kG-RBkW5/?igshid=1hyfvpeosdedv
