Brahma Temple

• The granite and sandstone Brahma Temple, one of the earliest temples here (c. 900), is probably misnamed. 
• Brahma, a titular member of the triad of Hinduism’s great gods, along with Shiva and Vishnu, rarely gets a temple to himself, and this one has a linga, the abstract, phallus-shape icon of Shiva. 
• It differs in design from most of the other temples, particularly in the combination of materials and the shape of its Shikhara.
