Description
Ikkeri grew into a powerful independent kingdom with capital at Keladi under the early Vijayanagaara chiefs. During the reign of Chaudappa Nayaka, (A.D. 1499-1544), the capital was shifted from Keladi to Ikkeri. The north-south oriented Aghoresvara temple, build in granite during the time of the Nayaka's of Keladi, is a classic example of the nayaka style of architecture. Stylistically it is datable to sixteenth century A.D. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikkeri
