The Kamalishvara Temple is famous for its outstanding Salabhanjika or Madanika sculptures. These well-endowed feminine figures in seductive tribhanga poses are "...moon breasted, swan-waisted and elephant-hipped", according to the traditional Indian artistic canons. The sculptures of the Jalasangvi temple were the source of inspiration for the later Hoysala bracket-figures of Belur, Halebidu and Somanathapura.[1] This Chalukya temple is built on a star-shaped plan.[2]
