Shri Ramalingeshwara Swami Temple, Avani - History details

The Ramalingeshwara group of temples at Avani comprises four shrines—Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna—dating to the 10th‑century Nolamba period, with later Chola and Vijayanagara additions. Legends link Avani to Valmiki and to Lava‑Kusha. Protected by ASI, it’s among Karnataka’s earliest enclosed multi‑shrine complexes. Dravida superstructures and reliefs adorn the halls.
