'''Panchalingeshwara Temple''' (also spelt '''Panchalingeshvara''') in [[Govindanahalli]], [[Mandya district]], [[Karnataka]] state, India, was constructed around 1238 A.D. during the reign of the [[Hoysala empire]] King [[Vira Someshwara]]. The name "Panchalingeshwara" literally means "five linga" (''pancha'' - five and ''[[linga]]'' - the universal symbol of the god [[Shiva]]). The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.<ref name="protected">{{cite web |url=http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_alphalist_karnataka_bangalore.asp|title=Alphabetical List of Monuments - Karnataka -Bangalore, Bangalore Circle, Karnataka|work=Archaeological Survey of India, Government of India|publisher=Indira Gandhi National Center for the Arts|access-date=5 April 2013}}</ref> The famous sculptor of Hoysala times, Ruvari Mallitamma, is known to have made contributions to the temple.

According to art historian Gerard Foekema, the Panchalingeshwara temple is a rare example of a ''panchakuta'' (''lit'', five shrines with five towers) construction in [[Hoysala architecture]].<ref name="kuta">Foekema (1996), p.25</ref> The five shrines are built on a north-south axial plan with the sanctums face east. In each shrine, the sanctum (''[[garbhagriha]]'') is connected to a hall (''[[mantapa]]'' or ''navaranga'') by a ''[[vestibule (architecture)|vestibule]]'' with ''[[sukanasi]]'' above. A long pillared hall on the east connects the individual ''mantapa'' together. The entrance to the temple complex is via two [[porch]]ed entrances whose ceiling are supported by lathe turned pillars. Irrespective of the number of shrines in the complex, these are standard features in Hoysala temples.<ref name="feature">Foekema (1996), pp.21-25</ref><ref name="std2">Brown in Kamath (2001), pp.134-136</ref> The porches are located in front of the second and third shrines.<ref name="common">{{cite web|url=http://asibengalurucircle.org/mandya-3.html|title=Panchalingeshvara Temple|work=Archaeological Survey of India, Bengaluru Circle|publisher=ASI Bengaluru Circle|access-date=4 April 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150502190310/http://asibengalurucircle.org/mandya-3.html|archive-date=2 May 2015}}</ref>

The decoration (articulation) on the outer walls of the shrines (''[[vimana]]'') is modest and comprises miniature decorative towers (''[[aedicula]]'') on [[pilaster]]s. The wall panel of images between the [[eave]] and the base moldings (''[[adhisthana]]'') include some depictions from the Hindu epics. According to Gerard Foekema, this form of treatment is common to Hoysala art.<ref name="std1">Foekema (1996), pp.28-29</ref> The tower over each shrine (''[[shikhara]]'') comprises the standard three tiers of roofs with each vertically ascending tier diminishing in height. Above this is a structure called the ''[[stupa|stupi]]'' that holds the [[finial]], a decorative water-pot like structure called the ''[[Kalasha]]''.<ref name="kalas">Foekema (2001), pp.27-28</ref> The vestibule of each shrine has a low protruding tower (also called ''sukanasi'', meaning "nose"). This tower is shorter than the main tower over the shrine and hence appears like an extension of it.<ref name="nose">Foekema (1996), p.22</ref> The inner walls of the each ''mantapa'' have seventeen niches many of which house sculptures of merit.<ref name="common"/>
