The Chandramauleshwara Temple, also known as the Candramauḷīśvara or Chandramouleshwara temple, is an 11th-century Shiva temple showcasing Chalukyan architecture. It is located in Unkal, Hubballi, Karnataka, India.
The temple is constructed on a square-cross plan, featuring one entrance for each cardinal direction, in line with the sandhara plan described in Sanskrit architectural texts. Originally, it housed a Chaturmukha (four-faced) Linga at the center and included several mandapas (halls). However, the surviving structure is significantly smaller than its original form.
The temple preserves an early example of a rare style of Hindu architecture. It is also notable for its unique integration of artwork representing Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism, and Vedic deities.
The temple is recognized as a Monument of National Importance and is designated as a Protected Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites Act (1958). It is managed by the Dharwad circle of the Archaeological Survey of India.
