The beautifully-carved Trikuteshwara temple is located in the town of Gadag, 50 km south east of Hubli in Karnataka, India. The temple is dedicated to Shiva, and has three lingams mounted on the same stone. There is a shrine dedicated to Saraswathi in this temple and it has nicely carved columns. The temple dates back to the Kalyani Chalukyas who ruled this region from around 1050 to 1200 CE, during which time about 50 temples were built.
