Aihole Pop: 3000 Aihole has around one hundred temples; half the temples are within the fort and the other half outside. Thirty temples are in a single enclosure. The Chalukya and Rashtrakuta kings built the temples between the 6th and 12th centuries. Aihole is 131km north of Hampi, on the bank of the Malaprabha River. Most of the temples were originally dedicated to Lord Vishnu but were later converted into Siva temples. Aihole used to be a big commercial center, but it has become a small town. You can see the remains of the massive city walls and gates. The Glorious Aihole booklet has a map showing the twenty-four main sites. Central

stone ladder leads to a shrine with sculptures of Vishnu, Siva, and
Surya on the walls. The
Gaudar Gudi, Chakra Gudi, Kunti Group, Hucchappayya Math, and Hallibasappa
are all within the town and date from the 7th to the 10th centuries. If you turn left from the main entrance you come to the Ravana Phadi Temple (300m from the village), a 6th century cave temple located southeast of the Huchimalli Temple. It has some exceptionally fine sculptures, including one of Nataraja (dancing Siva), Ganesh, and Ardhanari. It also has an ornate decorated ceiling. The Huchimalli Gudi and Mallikarjuna Group, dating from the 7th to 11th centuries, are located northeast of town. South
