Siddeswara Temple

The Siddhesvara Temple is located in Haveri, Karnataka, and is an ornate example of 12th-century Western Chalukyan art. It is believed to have been initially consecrated in the late 11th century. The temple uniquely faces west, contrary to the typical east-facing orientation of Chalukyan temples. Currently a Shaiva temple, the original deity and sect are uncertain due to the presence of various loose sculptures and degraded wall images.
