INDRAKILA - ITS SUPREMACY

The Indrakila contains many more shrines some of them are rock-out too and belong to distant past. During the quarrying operations, many ancient temples buried under the debris came to light. As their sculptural wealth is recognised by the department of archeology, they are now preserved as protected monuments. There are two more holy temples - Kanakadurga and Malleswaraswamy deserving elaborate narration. Their past  glory too is equally awe-inspiring. Of the two, the first one is Mallikarjuna shrine. It came into lime-light in the tenth century A.D. Tribhuvana Malla, the famous Western Chalukya king built it in the exact place, originally built by Yudhistra, the first of Pandavas in Dwaparayuga. It was also called Durga Malleswaraswamy Alayam then.
