Context: The Ramalingeshwara group of temples (also spelt "Ramalingeshvara" or "Ramalingesvara" and sometimes referred to as "Rameshvara" group), situated in Avani town of the Kolar district, Karnataka state, India, is constructed in the "dravida style".  According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the temple is an ornate 10th-century Nolamba dynasty construction which was partially renovated later by the Chola dynasty.  The temple is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India as a monument of national importance. The Kedareshvara temple (also spelt Kedareshwara or Kedaresvara) is located in the town of Balligavi (known variously in ancient inscriptions as Belagami, Belligave, Ballagamve and Ballipura), near Shikaripura in the Shimoga district of Karnataka state, India.  Dotted with centres of learning ("agrahara"), Balligavi was an important city during the 11th - 12th century Western Chalukya rule.  The term "Anadi Rajadhani" (ancient capital) used in medieval inscriptions to describe this town tells a tale of great antiquity.  Art historian Adam Hardy classifies the style involved in the construction of the temple as "Later Chalukya, non mainstream, relatively close to mainstream".  He dates the temple to late 11th century, with inscriptional evidence of additions made up to 1131, by the Hoysalas during their control over the region.  The building material used is soapstone.  The Archaeological Survey of India classifies the style of architecture as distinctly Hoysala.  The Hoysala ruling family was during this period a powerful feudatory of the imperial Western Chalukya Empire, gaining the trappings of independence only from the period of King Vishnuvardhana (1108-1152 A.D).  The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.

The temple was constructed during the reign of Hoysala King Vinayaditya around 1100 AD.  The Hoysala ruling family was during this time a powerful feudatory of the imperial Western Chalukya Empire ruled by King Vikramaditya VI.  According to the Archaeological Survey of India, the architectural signature of the temple is mainly "Chalukyan".  Art historian Adam Hardy classifies the style involved in the construction of the temple as "Later Chalukya, non mainstream, far end of spectrum".
