Lad Khan Temple, Hindu temple in Aihole, India.
The temple features square pillars, intricate stone carvings, and a rectangular structure that transitions into a square design at its upper section.
Built around 450 CE during the Chalukya dynasty rule, the temple received its name from a Muslim prince who later converted it into his residence.
The temple contains a Shiva Linga in its sanctum, while the outer walls display carved windows and sculptures of Vishnu, Surya, and Devi deities.
The monument remains open for visitors throughout the year, with local guides available to explain the architectural features and religious significance.
The temple structure exhibits a combination of rock-cut and free-standing architecture, demonstrating early experimentation in Hindu temple construction methods.
