Introduction
The North Karnataka is one of the richest areas of India in monuments of great artistic value. It was the time of the greatest expansion of the Kalamukha Lakulasaiva movements, and of the rise of Virashaivism.
Shivapura, the old name of Chaudadanapura (Chaudayyadanapura). Saint, a 12th century social reformer Basaveshwara donated this village to Ambigara Chaudayya (a boatman).[2] So the name of the is Chaudayyadanapura or Chaudadanapura.
The temple of Muktesvara at Chaudayyadanapura in Ranebennur Taluk is a beautiful representative of the style and the high culture of that time.[3]

The Mukteshvara Temple is a single cella temple in Jakkanachari style. Similar temples built under the patronage of Kalachuri or Seuna dynasties. This temple is a jewel of architecture of 11th-12th century. It was built during the heyday of the kingdom ruled by the Kalyani Chalukyas and the Seunas of Devagiri. It is dedicated to an Udbhava Linga (spontaneously born) Linga named Mukteshvara.
The dome of the temple is hollow and is closed by the slabs of the stupi. Sikhara of the Mukteshwara temple is 2.20 M in its axis at the base. Stupi is made of 3 beautiful lotiform mouldings diminishing in size and a lotus bud with its base.
