Kashi Vishwanatha Temple, Pattadakal

Kashi Vishwanatha Temple is one among the many temples of Pattadakal. It is said that Kashi Vishwanatha Temple is the last temple among these architectures. This 8th century structure is one amongst the jewels of Pattadakal built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty.

The temple sanctum and the passage leading to the sanctum are the only parts that have remained. A black stone Shivalinga is housed in the sanctum.
