English: Aihole temples and monuments, also called Aivalli or Ayyavole or Aiholi temples and monuments, are a collection of over 100 temples built predominantly between 6th and 8th century near Malaprabha river in Karnataka. At this point, the river turns northwards towards the Himalayas which likely had significance as a location.

Though defaced and damaged after the region was conquered by Muslim commanders of the Delhi Sultanate, the collection is one of the earliest surviving temples and window to ancient Indian arts, religious beliefs, society and architecture. Almost all temples are related to Hinduism, but these co-exist with a few Jain temples of this period and one Buddhist monument. Both north Indian and south Indian styles fuse here, with monuments suggesting experimentation of ideas and building styles under the sponsorship of late Gupta period Hindu kingdoms, particularly the Calukyas and Rashtrakutas.

The Hucchimalli Gudi is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. The temple is relatively small, but includes architectural elements found in major later Hindu temples, such as a mukha-mandapa, a sabha-mandapa and a gabha-griha. The temple was likely built between the 6th and 8th century, and it features kama / artha scenes such as amorous couples. The temple shows images of Garuda, Brahma and Surya. The entrance of the main shrine have damaged carvings of goddess Ganga and Yamuna. The sabha-mandapa, likely used for social events such as weddings has images of Indra and Kubera.

The ceiling of the temple has a carved image of one headed Kartikeya on a peacock in warrior attire with dancing angels. Near the temple is a public utility water tank. The temple and tank show images of Durga killing buffalo demon (Mahishasuramardini) and panels showing fables from the Hindu text Panchatantra.
