6 architectural marvels to visit in South India - SilverKris
"Sitting at the base of Nandi Hills about 60 km from Bengaluru, this temple complex dates to the 9th century under the Bana dynasty and was expanded over centuries by the Cholas, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara rulers, producing a mix of architectural styles. Highlights include intricate carvings on soapstone pillars, numerous sculptures of deities, an Instagram-worthy temple tank called Shringi Theertha, and interior depictions of Lord Shiva in various life stages; it is one of Karnataka’s oldest extant temples and a protected monument." - Meenakshi J
