Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam 2

Virupaksha Temple, Hampi(Karnatak)

The temple has a continuous history since the 7th century CE; however, it may be even older.
At present, the main temple consists of a sanctum, three ante chambers, a pillared hall and an open pillared hall. A pillared cloister, entrance gateways, courtyards, smaller shrines and other structures surround the temple.
The nine-tiered eastern gateway, the largest at 50 meters, is well-proportioned and incorporates some earlier structures. It has a brick superstructure and a stone base. It gives access to the outer court containing many sub-shrines. The smaller eastern gateway leads to the inner court's numerous smaller shrines.
A narrow channel of the Tungabhadra River flows along the temple's terrace and then descends to the temple kitchen and out through the outer court.
The temple was ransacked by invading Muslim forces in 1565CE.

Teli ka Mandir Temple, Gwolior fort palace, Gwolior(Madhya Pradesh)

Dated: ~9th century CE or older
Basically, it has an unusual configuration: shrine-like in that it has a sanctuary only; no pillared pavilions or mandapa; and a barrel-vaulted roof on top of a Hindu mandir.
In plan, it is a rectangular structure. It has a tower built in masonry, in nagari architectural style with a barrel vaulted roof, 30 metres in height. In the past, the niches in the outer walls had sculptures installed in them but now have horse shoe arch or gavakshas (ventilator openings) with arched motifs. The gavaksha design, has been compared to trefoil, a honey comb design with a series of receding pointed arches within an arch that allows a "play of light and shadow".
The entrance door has a torana or archway with exquisitely sculpted images of river goddesses, romantic couples, foliation decoration and a Garuda.
Diamond and lotus designs are seen on the horizontal band at the top of the arch.
