'Nagalapura' is a village located in Turuvekere taluk, Tumkur district. This place is almost unknown but has two significantly beautiful and ornate Hoysala temples, which probably would have been grand like any other Hoysala temple, but today is nothing but ruins. Nagalapura was a prosperous town under the Hoysala rule, whose grandeur can be felt when we look at these temple . Like most of the Hoysala towns, this too has a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva (Kedareshwara) and another temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Chennakeshava). The Kedareshwara temple is situated at the entrance of the village. This is bigger than the Chennakeshava temple though both have the same plan of construction.

The historical university you're referring to is located in Nagavi, a village in the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka, India. However, it wasn't built in 1076 AD by King Vikramaditya VI. Instead, it dates back to the Rashtrakuta dynasty and gained prominence during the Kalyana Chalukya's rule. The university is associated with the Rameshwara temple at Nagavi, which features a unique architectural design with a single entrance, no windows, and a ceiling opening for ventilation and minimal light. *Key Features:* - *Ghatikasthana*: The ancient university was referred to as Ghatikasthana in Kannada, where students studied Vedas, Shastras, Grammar, Prabharika philosophy, and Kumarika philosophy. - *Inscription*: An inscription slab from 1058 AD provides valuable information about the university, including gifts and donations for 200 students and six teachers. - *Architecture*: The Rameshwara temple has 64 pillars, representing the 64 art forms taught in ancient India. It's worth noting that Vikramaditya VI was a king of the Western Chalukya Empire, but there's no direct connection established between him and the Nagavi university in the provided search results. The university's history and significance are tied to the broader cultural and educational landscape of ancient India. #Nagavi University #Ancient Education #Ghatikasthana #Rameshwara Temple #Kalyana Chalukya #Rashtrakuta Dynasty #Vedic Studies #Shastras #Ancient Architecture #Karnataka Heritage
