The temple of Mallikarjuna close to and at the north-west corner of Virupaxa’s

Bagalkot, Pattadkal
Temples / Bastis

This temple, called Sri Trailokesvara Maha Saila prasada in an inscription, was built around 740 CE by one of the queens, Trailokyamahadevi, of Vikramaditya II (733–45 CE) to commemorate her husbands victory over the Pallavas of Kanchipuram. In general appearance and style, it resembles the Virupaksha temple.  It consists on plan a sanctum (garbhagriha) with circumambulatory path (pradakshinapatha), an antechamber (antarala) with a sub – shrine each on either side in front, a sabha mandapa with entrance porches on the east, north and south and a separate Nandi-mandapa in front. The sub-shrines, originally dedicated to Ganesa and Mahishamardini, are now empty. Graceful female figures are carved in the ornate niches on the walls.
