Bhoganandeeshwara Temple and Arunachaleswara Temple are twin Hindu temples located in Nandi village in Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka, India. Just 60kms from silicon city Bangalore. Ornate, beautifully carved and dedicated to Shiva, they have been variously dated between the 9th- to 10th-century CE.The Bhoganandheeshwara is the northern temple of the twin. It is the oldest surviving temple in Nolambavadi-style of Dravidian architecture in Karnataka. The Arunachaleshwara temple was added to its south shortly thereafter.
These temples are notable for its large and intricately carved sabha-mantapa, the inscriptions, and artwork, much of it to Shaivism, but also significantly for Vaishnavism (Narasimha, Vishnu), Shaktism (Durga, Lakshmi) and Vedic deities (Surya, Agni)
The temple is protected and managed as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.
