| Ikkeri |
| About: |
| Ikkeri is situated in Shimoga district of Karnataka state at about 3 km to the south of Sagar. The word Ikkeri in Kannada means “Two Streets”. This place was the capital of Keladi Nayakas for some years. The walls of the city were of great extent, forming three concentric enclosures. In the citadel was a palace built with mud and timber, adorned with carvings. Today what remains is the temple of Aghoreshvara (one of the several names of Lord Shiva), a large and well proportioned stone-building, constructed in a mixed style with a unique conception. There are intricate carvings on the stone walls of the temple. There are carvings & sculptures such as Temple Relief (sculpture consisting of shapes carved on a surface so as to stand out from the surrounding background), Erotica, Fingurine, Old Kannada Manuscript, Sculpted Elephant etc. |

| IKKERI |
| AGHORESHWARA TEMPLE ( 16TH C/ HINDU) |
| Around 16th century small vassal kingdoms in Madurai,Tanjavur and Ikkeri sprang up. They were semi- independent from the Vijayanagara kingdom and were called Nayakas. The Nayakas of ikkeri reigned from 1540 to 1763 . The Aghoreshwara temple where Shiva is defied is a blend of Hoysala and Dravida style. Vengayya was the architect. This symmetrical temple is without any excessive decoration. There is an Amman shrine and a unique Nandi shrine inside the laterite fence in addition to the main shrine. The whole temple along with Muka mandapa and shrine is made of hard black basalt stone. The mandapa has six pillars and the entrance to the shrine is magnificent. The vijayanagara style of construction is seen here. The sculpture on the outside entrance belong to the Hoysala style. The tower on the shrine sports an in- between style. This temple sits in a field 3 km from Sagar that is 100 km from Haveri. |
