Mallikarjuna Temple

Mallikarjuna Temple is Pattadakal's second great Chalukya masterpiece — a twin to the Virupaksha Temple, built simultaneously by Queen Trilokamahadevi, with equally fine sculptural decoration and a more intimate scale. Standing side by side, the two temples form one of the most remarkable pairs of medieval temples in South India. A top Pattadakal sightseeing and heritage destination. Included in the Pattadakal complex entry ticket. Best appreciated in tandem with the Virupaksha Temple.
