We visit the
Durga Temple Aihole, the cradle of temple architecture in Karnataka built
between the 7th – 8th centuries by the Chalukyas. Interestingly, this temple is
not dedicated to the Goddess “Durga”. It takes the name after the word “Durg”
or fortress which probably refers to a fort built close by . Almost all the
monuments in this town are between 1200-1300 years old. W e are
celebrating Karnataka Rajyoutsav or the day when Karnataka as a state was
formed today. And what better way to celebrate than to visit a
destination that is very ancient and filled with rich heritage.
