The Virupaksha Temple was built by the Chalukyas. The temple is located in the town of Hampi in the Indian state of Karnataka. The Chalukyas were a dynasty that ruled over parts of South and Central India from the 6th to the 12th centuries. They were known for their patronage of art, architecture, and religion. The Virupaksha Temple is one of the most important and well-preserved structures in Hampi. It was dedicated to Lord Virupaksha, a form of Lord Shiva, and was constructed in the 7th century CE. The temple is a fine example of the Chalukyan style of architecture, with intricate carvings and beautiful sculptures. It is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
