In Shimoga (State: Karnataka) in the fort area is the 16th century Shivappa Nayak Palace of Keladi Dynasty. Today, this palace also serves as a museum for Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
There are lot of sculptures in the museum garden on display which were excavated from many parts of the country.
Above is the idol of Vrabhadra belonging to 16th century A.D. Every detail is carved beautifully.
