Temple Description

In Dharwad, Karnataka, there is an old temple devoted to Banashankari called the Banashankari Temple of Amargol.

There is a Shankarlinga temple in Amargol that was constructed by Jakkanacharya next to the Banashankari Temple.

Amargol is situated next to Navanagar and roughly 9 miles from the center of Hubli, halfway between Dharwad and Hubli. Chandramouleshwara Temple in Hubli and Unkal Lake are 4 km apart from Banashankari Temple in Amargol
In the early 13th century, the temples of this period exhibit nagara articulation, erected in the stepped diamond and the square plan appropriate to a nagara superstructure. The Ganesha Temple in Hangal, the Banashankari Temple in Amargol (which features one dravida shrine and one nagara shrine), and a minor shrine that is a component of the ensemble at the Mahadeva Temple (Itagi) are notable examples of temples with a stepped-diamond architecture.
