Sri Govindeshwara and Nageshwara temples, Koravangala.
Visited Sri Bucheshwara temple in Korvangala last weekend. The experience was so good; perfect weather, no crowd. We had the temple to ourselves. The happiness didn't last long as our eyes sighted this abandoned temple right opposite this majestic temple. It was so disheartening to see the plight of the temple. According to the inscriptions, those temples are Govindeshwara and Nageshwara temples built by Govinda and Naka, the elder brothers of Buchiraja.
The temples are being used by people for the wrongful deeds. We could find liquor bottles, playing cards, used water bottles, smoked cigarettes and even condoms. As ardent fans and admirers of Hoysala architecture, it was heart-wrenching to see the works of great artists abused and not respected.

Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple is a Siva shrine situated on the southern bank of the Penna river in Tadipatri, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
It was built between 1490 and 1509 by Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I, a Pemmasani Nayaka chieftain of the Gutti-Gandikota region during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The presiding deity is a linga, considered to be ‘swayambhu’
(naturally occurring or self originated). The temple has seven small independent pillars in front of the Vishnu shrine and when struck they produce 'saptaswara' (the seven musical notes). The gopurams of the temple are unfinished and were described by architectural historian James Anderson as ‘wonders’.

The Martand Sun Temple Also known as Pandou Laidan is a Hindu temple dedicated to Surya (the chief solar deity in Hinduism) and built during the 8th century CE. Martand is another Sanskrit synonym for Surya. It is now in ruins, as it was destroyed by the orders of Kashmiri ruler Sikandar Shah Miri. The temple is located five miles from Anantnag in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Martand Sun Temple was built by the third ruler of the Karkota Dynasty, Lalitaditya Muktapida, in the 8th century CE. It is said to have been built during 725-756 CE. The foundation of the temple is said to have been around since 370-500 CE, with some attributing the construction of the temple to have begun with Ranaditya.

पठानकोट से 22 किमी दूर गांव डूंग के पास रावी के तट पर द्वापरयुग का शिवलिंग स्थापित है। कहते हैं कि पांडव अज्ञातवास में यहां गुफा बनाकर रूके थे। उसी दौरान उन्होंने इस शिवलिंग की स्थापना की थी। यहां पत्थर को तराश कर बनाई गईं पांच गुफाओं में एक ढह गई है।
