Photograph of a group of temples at Pattadakal in Karnataka, taken by Thomas Biggs in 1855, from 'Architecture in Dharwar and Mysore'. This photograph shows the Mallikarjuna Temple (c. 745), the Sangameshwara temple (early 8th century) and the Virupaksha Temple in the foreground (c. 745) and a temple car to the left foreground.

Now a world heritage site, these temples became ruins and fort walls during the 13th to 17th century wars.
