Upper Shivalaya, Badami, Karnataka, India

Badami Shivalaya refers to one of three 6th to 8th-century CE Hindu temples in Badami, Bagalkot district of Karnataka, India. They illustrate the early Chalukya style, and are among the better preserved illustrations of Dravida Hindu architecture. They are close to the Badami cave temples and other structural temples near Agasthya lake, but the Badami Shivalyas are located near or on top of different hillocks. These include the Upper Shivalaya (actually a Vaishnava temple), Lower Shivalaya and the better preserved Mallegitti Sivalaya found to the north of the Badami town. These temples include Shiva, Vishnu and Devi-related artwork, as well as depict legends from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

This is a huge mana-stambha or column that stands near the portico of the Jain temple in Hampi. An inscription found on the column states the name of Iruguppa Dandanayaka as the person who constructed the temple during the reign of Harihara II.

This mana-Stambha is used as the street light for the Jain temple. Temple management will use the flaming torch on top of the mana Stambha to light temple premises.
