Omkareshwara Temple

An ancient shrine devoted to Lord Shiva, the Omkareshwara temple is situated in the town of Madikeri in Coorg, Karnataka. What stands out about the temple leaving aside its religious affiliation to thousands of devotees that pour in, is the architecture. A breathtaking amalgamation of Gothic and Islamic construction, the temple is an epitome of post-medieval architecture. Built in the 19th century, the temple is noted for its historical relevance and should not be missed if you have a penchant for primitive Indian culture.
