History
The Navabrahma Temples were constructed during the Badami Chalukya dynasty, which ruled the region between the 6th and 8th centuries AD. These temples represent the peak of Chalukyan architecture, blending North and South Indian styles. The Chalukyas were great patrons of art and religion, and the Navabrahma Temples stand as a testament to their devotion and artistic vision. Each of the nine temples was likely commissioned by different rulers or influential figures within the kingdom, leading to variations in design and ornamentation. Over the centuries, the temples have withstood the test of time, witnessing the rise and fall of empires. Today, they are carefully maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, ensuring their preservation for future generations. The Kudavelli Sangameswara Temple was relocated here in 1980s.
