Pattadakal

Pattadakal, a tiny village also known as Raktapura or Pattadakallu, houses a series of ten magnificent stone temples that date back to the 7th and 8th centuries. Out of these ten, nine are Hindu temples, and one is a Jain temple. Lying close to the Badami and Aihole centers of Chalukya monuments, it is a protected site managed by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). These grand, imposing structures were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1987.
