History & tradition
The Bhoga Nandeeshwara and Arunachaleswara temples form a twin complex in Nandi village in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka. Dedicated to Shiva and richly carved, they are dated between the 9th and 10th centuries. The Bhoga Nandeeshwara, the northern shrine, is the oldest surviving temple in the Nolambavadi style of Dravidian architecture in Karnataka; the Arunachaleswara was added to its south soon after. The complex was restored and enlarged in the Chola period. It is noted for its large carved hall, its inscriptions, and sculpture that honours Vishnu, Durga and the Vedic deities alongside Shiva.
