    It is said that that the Durga Temple in Aihole, Karnataka, the first experimental school for evolution of temple architecture, which is like a fortress, often called as the Lad Khan temple served as a model for building the Indian Parliament building.

      Durga Temple also resembles a similar shape. Lad Khan temple is entirely different. Its a temple near to the Durga Temple in Aihole. But the circular shape and the inner structure resembles the Chausath Yogini Temple
