- Cover photo description:
- The Durga temple is the best known and studied of the Aihole temples. It has a misleading name, because the temple is not named after goddess Durga. According to one theory, it stands near the ruins of a fort-like enclosure or durg during a time of late medieval era Hindu Muslim conflict in the region.According to another local tradition, a stone rubble durg and lookout was assembled on its flat roof and locals therefore began calling it the Durga temple.The temple was originally dedicated to Hindu gods Surya and Vishnu.The temple was dated by early scholars to the 5th century CE, but variously revised to be from between the late 6th and early 8th century.
