Kopeshwar temple, Hindu temple in Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, India.
The temple complex spans four sections including Swarg Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Antaral Kaksha, and Garbha Griha with detailed carvings on walls and pillars.
The construction began in the 7th century during Chalukya rule and was completed in the 12th century under Silhara ruler Gandaraditya's supervision.
The temple features 48 pillars in the Swarg Mandap, with twelve representing zodiac signs, demonstrating the integration of astronomical elements into religious architecture.
