Jambulinga Temple

Pattadakal, Karnataka

This is practically the "twin" of Kaddasimbeshvara Temple just to the north, although Jambulinga lacks the expected doorway guardians. The tower's curving ribs are decorated with horseshoe-shaped blind arches. On the front (east) face of the tower is a large panel of Shiva dancing with Nandi and Parvati. A similar panel on the Kaddasimbeshvara tower is heavily damaged.
