Lakshmi Devi temple at Doddagaddavalli village in Karnataka, Bharat 🇮🇳
The main temple consists of four-shrines that share a common mandapa (hall), each sanctum being a square and aligned to a cardinal direction.
The eastern shrine has Lakshmi Devi,the northern shrine is dedicated to Kali-Durga Devi,the western to Bagawan Shiva,& the southern is empty & likely Vishnu Bagawan.
The complex has a separate Bhairava shrine to the NE of the main temple,& 4 small shrines at the corners inside

a nearly square prakara.All 9 temples r notable for its pyramidal north Indian style Nagara shikhara –likely an influence from Maharashtra & an evidence of active flow of ideas between the southern,central & northern India. The complex has additional smaller shrines. FB Krishnedu
