Lad Khan Temple in Gajendragarh

One of the prominent places to see the architecture of medieval times. Management is least bothered in maintenance of structures.We faced problems from local bikers(seem to be college goerschasing our vehicle and obstructing the vehicle with their bikes and cussing bad words at us for no reason. I could see they were doing the same for other vehicles as well. Being Indians, we feel bad about the incident. I wish it doesnt happen to any others.

demolished

Lad Khan temple is a Chalukya Shiva temple inside the Aihole Durga temple complex. It is based on a wooden construction design, the square and rectangular plan has a steep roof, which is an adaptation of wooden styles in stone.The temple consists of a shrine with a mandapa in front of it, and a covered path for circumambulating the sanctuary. The pillars inside are carved and the walls have lattice work and floral patterns.

Horrible location, poor management of the monuments in the surrounding area.

Good 👍

Very beautiful structures constructed at that time and maintained well by archeology department of India .

Why Ladkhan and why not a diety as name of temple — because Chola’s didn’t built a temple for one God and Aihole isn’t a temple complex - it’s a school of architecture !The one I liked most here is depictions of how man and woman fight but also then by evening make-up and love each other !

THE TEMPLE OF AN UNIQUE DESIGN AND IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A TEMPLE INITIALLY LAD KHAN TEMPLE ..AIHOLE KARNAKATAAihole, a small village in Karnataka, is a home to astonishing ancient Hindu Temple architectures. In this historic center every temple has something extraordinary to explore. One such ancient temple is the Lad Khan Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, which still stands with thousands of years of history. It was constructed by the rulers of Chalukya dynasty in the early 5th century. This temple was constructed in a different style during the Chalukya period. The architecture of this temple is quite different from the rest of the temples built during that period.The name of the temple comes from Lad Khan who had turned the temple into his own residence for a short period. Previously, the temple was dedicated to Vishnu. Now, the temple holds Shiva Linga with ~ Mandi The architecture of the tamula

The Lad Khan Temple (or Chalukya Shiva Temple), dedicated to Shiva, is one of the oldest Hindu temples and is located in the group of monuments at Aihole in the state of Karnataka, India. Formerly dated to the 7th or 8th century, it is now dated to about the 5th century. It is located to the south of the Durga temple, Aihole.The temple shows clear signs of following early timber models, none of which have survived. This is seen for example in the construction of the roof of the mandapa.The temple consists of a shrine with a mandapa in front of it, and a covered path for circumambulating the sanctuary, seen in other very early temples. The mukha mandapa is situated in front of the sanctum and consists of a set of 12 carved pillars. The sabha mandapa leads to the maha mandapa and the pillars are arranged to form two concentric squares. The walls have floral patterns on them and the windows have lattice work done in the northern style. Facing the sanctum, a second smaller sanctum is situated above the center of the hall whose outer walls have many carved images.Originally dedicated to Vishnu, now the main shrine houses a Shiva Linga with a Nandi. The temple was built in a Panchayatana style, indicating a very early experiment in temple construction. The special feature of this temple is that it starts with a rectangular structure and ends with a square structure. Based on a wooden construction design, the square and rectangular plan has a steep roof, which is an adaptation of wooden styles in stone.The maha mandapa is open to exterior by large windows between the pillars. The roof above the maha mandapa shows a turret as a first version of the future forms of tower: shikharas in north India and vimanas in the south

The Lad Khan Temple is in the Durga Temple Complex at Aihole, about 35 km from Badami. It is probably the oldest temple in the complex dating back to 450 CE. It is actually a Shiva temple, with a Shiva Lingam in the inner sanctum, with a seated Nandi Bull statue facing the lingam.The temple has a misleading name of a Muslim commander Lad Khan, under Adil Shahi Sultan of Bijapur, who briefly camped here during a campaign, almost a thousand years after the temple was built. This temple also has good architecture with intricately carved pillars, and the walls have floral designs. The temple is lit with natural light coming in from the lattice windows. The ceiling is covered by log shaped stone bars, making it look like an ancient wooden temple with timber construction. It is one of the better temples in Aihole, and worth a visit.

Temple name as Bijapur General Lad khan and his family stayed here, beautiful structure..The temples here are without any deity, but still standing tall

(Visited in June 2019 - Interestingly, a Bijapuri Army General named Lad Khan stayed at this temple - hencevthe uncharacteristic name. But this simple structure was the place where Chalukya King Pulakesin I performed Ashwamedha Yaga. It served as a Shiva temple, Surya temple at different points of time.

Situated in drug complex of aihole, an early experiment in architecture resembles the transition time from wooden to the stone structure.

amazing temple constructed by chalukyas.

Lad Khan Temple is one of the oldest temples in the Aihole complex probably built in 450 ADIt is actually a Shiva temple with an unusual name.It was initially used as a panchayat hall where Pulakesi I performed horse sacrifices. Later it was turned into a Surya Temple & then Shiva temple.About 1000 years later it was renamed as Lad Khan Temple after a Muslim commander of Bijapur Sultanate who briefly stayed here to coordinate his military campaign in the regionFlanking the temple entrance are 6 short pillars with Kannada inscriptions.Temple has no Shikhara (gopura).This temple has a Shiva Linga in the sanctum & a 5 ft seated Nandi faces the shrine.The temples lattice windows with intricate carvings is noteworthy.Stone stairs connect the lower level to the 2nd floor which has a damaged square shrine with Vishnu, Surya & Ardhanarishvaraimages.

Oldest temple in Aihole. It was constructed by Chalukyas in 5th century. Belief is that horse sacrifice was conducted here. After Chalukyas this place was occupied by Lad Khan for some time & hence the name Lad Khan Temple which is actually a misnomer. Carvings on pillars & architectutral style is interesting & beautiful. Now being maintained by ASI.

Located south of Durga Temple in Aihole, this Shiva temple was built in the 5th Century by the Chalukyas and is called Lad Khan temple because it was used as a residence by a person named Lad Khan for a period. It is the oldest temple of Aihole.
