Madhava Temple

Madhava Temple is a Hindu temple in Madhab village featuring three main structures: Vimana, Jagamohana, and Natamandapa, each with its own architectural details and stone carvings. These buildings form a connected religious complex with characteristic design elements from its period.

The temple was commissioned in the 13th century by King Ananga Bhima Deva III, reflecting the building styles of that era. Its construction represents the religious structures built during this royal period.

The main deity is represented with objects that embody different aspects of divine power. These symbols are visible throughout the temple and reflect the spiritual beliefs that people come here to honor.

The temple houses a rare depiction of the goddess Durga in the Jagamohana section alongside the main deity. This dual representation is unusual for temples in this region and reflects a special aspect of local worship.
