Mallikarjuna Temple, Basaralu, Hindu temple in Mandya district, India

The Mallikarjuna Temple displays a trikuta design with three shrines, featuring ornate carvings and sculptures on its elevated platform called jagati.

Built in 1234 by Harihara Dhannayaka during the reign of Hoysala Empire King Vira Narasimha II, this temple stands as a testament to medieval Indian architecture.

The temple walls contain detailed friezes depicting scenes from Hindu epics, including a 16-handed Shiva, Durga, and various mythological narratives.

The monument remains open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM and can be reached via regular flights to Mysore Airport or train services to Mandya.

The temple's central shrine houses a Balahari Linga of Shiva, while the lateral shrines contain images of Surya and nagas within their walls.
