Pattadakal (Pattada-Kisuvolal of the inscriptions) is where the early Chalukyas used to be
crowned. It is here that the Rekhanagara Prasada and Dravida Vimana styles of temple architecture were given their final form. The Papanatha, Kasivishweshwara, Jambulinga and 
Galaganatha temples noted for their culvilinear shikara represent the former style. While the MAllikarjuna, Sangameshwara and Virupaksha temples have a square roof of receding tires represent the later. The Lokeshwar(Virupaksha) and the Trilokeshawara (Sangameshwara) temples 
wer built by Lokamahadevi and Trilokamahadevi, the queens of Vikramaditya II, to commemorate his victory over the Pallavas of Kanchi.
