Ghṛṣṇeśvara (घृष्णेश्वर) is the name of a Maratha temple built in the Bhumija/Sekhari style.—In the early 18th century the Marathas power gained ascendency through much of Deccan and the entire subcontinent, and with it, the age of temple construction began. The land of Maharashtra would again be dotted with innumerable Śaiva temples, largely patronized by the Maratha Sardars and this time with a distinct vocabulary of Maratha architecture. While some of the temples built directly by the Maratha royalty would be of the ‘neo� Bhumija and Śekhari style—for example, Ghṛṣṇeśvara temple built in Bhumija style or the Tryaṃbakeśvara temple built in the Śekhari style—but the temples that were built by local Maratha Sardars would be Maratha style architecture.
