* [[Abdullahi Sudi Arale]]
'''Sudi''', is a [[panchayat town]] in the [[Gadag District]] of [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. It is about 30&nbsp;km from [[Badami]], 12&nbsp;km from [[Gajendragad]] and 3&nbsp;km from [[Itagi Bhimambika]] temple. In the past it was an important town of the [[Western Chalukya Empire|Kalyani Chalukyas]] during 1000 AD. It is notable for rare stone carved monuments like ''Twin towered temple, Mallikarjuna temple and nagakunda (large well built of stone and carvings)'', and few other structural temples. For long time these structures were abandoned, but recently they caught the eye of the Indian Archaeological Department (ASI - [[Archaeological Survey of India]]).

===Shaivism, Pasupata school===
[[Shaivism]] gained importance and [[Jainism]] lost towards the closing years of the [[Chalukya]] rule.  Shaivism was dominant, and had several sects like [[Shaiva]], Pasupata or Lakula, Kalamukha and Kapaliaka.  The Pasupata school was important and had important centers at [[Balligavi]], '''Sudi''',<ref>{{cite book

===Inscriptions===
The [[Cholas]] claim to have captured a large number of [[Chalukya]] feudatory princes with their women and sacked and burnt ''Mannandippai''. The [[Chalukya]] reverses are admitted in a '''Sudi inscription''',<ref name="maharashtra.gov.in"/> dated in ''1050 A.D.'', of the reign of ''Someshvara''. It says that ''the 7 ministers granted the ''settis renewal'' of their corporate constitution (which had partly broken down in the stress of the war with the [[Cholas]])''.
 
The [[Chola]] king was killed at ''Koppam'', but the [[Chalukyas]] were also pushed back from
there by ''Rajendra''. Soon after the [[Chalukyas]] raided [[Kanchi]], the [[Chola]] capital,
burnt the city and defeated the [[Cholas]] once again. A ''Sudi inscription'' (Thursday, 20_January_1060 AD), records that king ''Trailokyamalla'' was halting at his camp ''Puli'', a town within ''Sindavadi'' division after having made a victorious expedition to the southern region and conquered the [[Chola]].
 
Sudi has several stone temples built by Maha Samanthadhipati Naga Deva in 1100 AD that have caught the attention of the [[Karnataka]] State Archeological Department. Quite a few of these structures have been cleaned up. Besides age-old structures there is also a tower (called ''Hude'' in native language) located in the center of the village. The richness of these temples can be viewed in the images posted here.
