Group of Monuments at Pattadakal
<img src=’http://whc.unesco.org/uploads/sites/site_239.jpg‘ target=’blank‘ align=’left‘ style=’padding:5px‘>Pattadakal, in Karnataka, represents the high point of an eclectic art which, in the 7th and 8th centuries under the Chalukya dynasty, achieved a harmonious blend of architectural forms from northern and southern India. An impressive series of nine Hindu temples, as well as a Jain sanctuary, can be seen there. One masterpiece from the group stands out – the Temple of Virupaksha, built c. 740 by Queen Lokamahadevi to commemorate her husband's victory over the kings from the South.
