Tripurantaka Temple, Hindu temple in Balligave, India
The Tripurantaka Temple contains two parallel shrines facing east, with perforated windows displaying stone artwork and doorways decorated with snake sculptures.
The Western Chalukya dynasty constructed this temple around 1070 AD during King Vishnuvardhana's reign, when their influence dominated the Deccan plateau.
Stone sculptures of deities including Brahma, Kumara, Ganesha, and Keshava decorate the entrance, reflecting the religious diversity of medieval Karnataka.
The temple stands 72 kilometers from Shivamogga city, with regular bus services connecting visitors from the railway station and nearby urban centers.
The exterior walls feature uncommon erotic sculptures, distinguishing this temple from typical Chalukyan architecture of the eleventh century.
