Diary Entry 2 of Nolamba stalkers September 12, 2016

Avani -Some thoughts

Temple structure like Belur one
                          
                                                                   Krisna from Nallur Tamarind grove


Krishna from Avani

I have lost the pictures of the Kolar trip. I am not in a position to look at the pillars and compare as Vidya wanted to do. If either of you have the pictures then please add it to these notes.
Came across an interesting information from Lalit Chugh's book. It mentions about a Nolamba inscription about 51 temples being constructed by Tribhuvanakartara who was called Kaliyuga -Rudra. One of his  disciples constructed a temple and named it  after his guru as Kaliyugarudreshwara temple. The inscription is dated 961 CE.This is an indication of grants made by indivuduals for construction of temple.
