ARCHITECTURE

Welcome to the exquisite Bhavani Shankara Temple, a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship of the legendary sculptor Jakkana Acharya. This sacred marvel, believed to be over a millennium old, stands adorned with solid black rock pillars meticulously carved in the distinctive style that defines Jakkana's artistry. 

What sets this temple apart is the awe-inspiring creation of both Bhavani Shankara and Lord Vishnu by Jakkana himself. The idols, adorned with intricate and proportionate carvings, emanate a profound sense of Divine Love, leaving observers with an indescribable feeling. As you explore further, you will also discover the presence of Lord Ganesha, Lord Surya Bhagwan, Lord Shankar, and the Sapta Matruke, the seven divine mothers lined up from Lord Veerabhadra Swamy to Lord Ganesha.

Stepping into the temple, a serene ambiance instantly envelops you, offering solace and tranquility. The structural integrity of this sacred abode had been compromised over time, but thanks to the devoted efforts of Sri Veerendra Hegde, it was revitalized around two decades ago. Sri Hegde has dedicated himself to the philanthropic cause of restoring ancient temples in Karnataka, playing a vital role in preserving our rich heritage and culture. Temples truly serve as mirrors reflecting the splendor of our glorious history, and we owe immense gratitude to Sri Hegde for his commendable endeavors.Nestled in the heart of Hubli, the Bhavani Shankara Temple stands as one of the oldest religious sites in the area, alongside the revered Chandramouleshwara Temple in Unkal, Hubli.

We extend a heartfelt appeal to all to embark on a spiritual journey and pay a visit to this remarkable temple. Experience the divine aura, immerse yourself in its serenity, and revel in the magnificence of our ancient heritage.
