The Chalukyan Architecture of the Kanarese Districts c43.1

c43.1

THERE are not many rude stone monuments within the area covered by the Chālukyan temples, but just without it, upon its eastern confines, in the territories of His Highness the Nizām, there are considerable numbers. The more important remains of this class that are found within the limits of the Chālukyan dominions are some small groups at Aihole and Koṇṇūr, and at Rāṇebennūr and Mōtebennūr in the south of the Dhārwār District. There are also a few isolated dolmens scattered about.
