12th century Hoysala style Shiva temple in Koravangala, Hassan district, Karnataka

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is an SVG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. An alternate high resolution JPEG version of this file has also been uploaded to the wikimedia commons.

The drawing:

  • The Buchesvara temple – sometimes referred to as the Bucesvara, Bucheshwara or Bucheshvara temple – was completed in the second half of the 12th century. It was built a wealthy patron named Buchi, duirng KIng Ballala's reign.
  • The temple is found in what is now a village named Koravangala (Korvangala), about 10 kilometers from Hassan city.
  • The temple's architectural plan follows the square and circle principle found in historic Sanskrit texts.
  • It is an example of a dvikuta Hindu temple in Hoysala style (two sanctums), with two entrances and an attached smaller shrine. The larger dvikuta is dedicated to Shiva, while the smaller shrine is dedicated to Bhairava. However, like many major Hindu temples, large panels and sections of reliefs are dedicated to the historic legends of Vaishnavism (Vishnu) and Shaktism (Devi). The Vaishnava panels are notable for the intricate carvings of the Narasimha and Prahlada story.
  • The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible.
