File:Bettesvara Temple, Agrahara Belguli.jpg

The drawing:

  • This is the floor plan of the Besttesvara temple in Belaguli. The temple is also referred to as Batteshvara temple at Belaguli, Kesavesvara temple, and Belguli twin temple.
  • This temple has two sanctums of equal size. One for Shiva and other for Vishnu, in Vesara style. They share a gudha-mandapa. To the east is the ranga-mandapa. The town and its temples, including this temple was damaged during the Delhi Sultanate invasions. The Vijayanagara empire attempted to repair and restore this temple, and ruins of several Vijayanagara style gopura and pillars can be seen here.
  • The temple's architectural plan follows the square and circle principle found in historic Sanskrit texts.
  • GPS location of the monument:

  • The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible.
