Amrutheshwari Temple
As per his guidance Morning I went to Annigeri village ,its around 37km away from Hubli. First I visited to the 'Amrutheshwari Temple' the black stone temple built by the Western Chalukya Empire which is under the protection of Archeological Department.The temple was originally built in the 10th Century. History of this temple is this famous temple was built by famous architect Jakanacharya. People here says that this temple was built in single night at 10th century.

Surrounding of this place I also visited Banashankari Gudi, Uma Bharathi gudi, & Purudeshwara Gudi which I liked most for its beautiful structure. The large and black stone Amrtesvara Temple is the finest examples produced by the Kalyani Chalukya. The temple has a roof supported by 76 pillars and carvings of mythological figures on its walls.
Purudeshwara Gudi
History -In 1157 the Kalachuris under Bijjala II captured Basavakalyan and occupied it
for the next twenty years, forcing the Chalukyas to move their capital city to
Annigeri in the present-day Dharwad district. To provide education at the
primary and Vedic levels, Annigeri had five Brahmapuris. In 2010, over 100
human skulls were found in a drain at Annigeri. According to the preliminary
theories, the area may have been a mass grave around some 150-200 years ago, or
it may have been a battle ground. After the discovery, the Archaeological
Survey of India officials visited the site, and the government of Karnataka
ordered an excavation. After the excavation, 471 skulls were found on a stretch
of 15.6 meters by 1.7 meters. As of 2011, the archaeologists were searching for
any mention of a massacre in the local folklore or history.
Evening I went Chandramwleswara Temple, located in Unkal Village which is 4km away from Hubli. This Temple is now totally damaged, because of negligence of Archeological Department., After that I returned back with some beautiful memory of Hubli.
Chandramwleswara Temple
The Chandramouleshwara temple is located in the suburbs of
Hubli city, in the Unkal
Village. It is a 900 year
old Chalukya construction. Inscriptions
found in Unkal village date this temple to the 11th or 12th century. This
temple has been declared as a protected monument, and is under the
administration of the Archaeological Survey of India. But no proper measures
have actually been taken to protect and renovate this magnificent temple. The
ASI had started to build a compound wall to protect this monument from
encroachment and misuse, but the work is just half finished. Kids use the
temple premises as a play ground. This historical temple needs urgent action to
save it and restore it to its former glory.

This 900 year old Chalukyan structure is modeled on the
monuments found in Aihole, Badami and Pattadakal, the ancient cradles of South
Indian Temple Architecture. This temple is dedicated to Chandramouleshwara,
another name for Lord Shiva. It houses two Shiva Lingas. One Shiva Linga is
enclosed in a shrine which has four entrances in four directions. 
This is the
main shrine of Chandramouleshwara. The other shrine is known as Chaturmukha
Lings, the four faced lings. Pujas are still performed everyday in the temple.
The temple has pillars built of black granite. The walls and pillars are well
decorated with sculptures. The figure of Dancing Ganesha is captivating. The
temple walls, pillars and pilasters are covered in lovely carvings. This temple
is a fine example of Chalukyan temple architecture.
