Pattadakal & Aihole Chalukyan Temples Day Trip
Pattadakal, on the Malaprabha river, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a group of eighth-century Chalukyan temples in both northern and southern styles standing side by side — the Virupaksha temple is the finest, built to commemorate a victory over the Pallavas. Aihole, a short drive away, has over a hundred temples and is where temple architecture was worked out — the Durga temple with its apsidal plan is the best known.
