History & tradition
Kopeshwar Temple is at Khidrapur in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, on the bank of the Krishna river to the east of Kolhapur; it can also be reached from Sangli. It is dedicated to Shiva, and the name Kopeshwar means ‘angry Shiva’. The temple was built in the 12th century under the Shilahara king Gandaraditya. Though the Shilaharas were Jain kings, they built and renovated many Hindu temples. The temple is laid out in four parts, beginning with the Swargamandapa and the Sabhamandapa.
