Hoysala architecture is the building style developed under the rule of the Hoysala Empire. The stylistic transformation of the Karnataka temple building tradition reflects the military powers of the Hoysala kings who desired to surpass their Western Chalukya overlords in artistic achievement. Hoysala temples offer an opportunity for pilgrims and students of architecture to examine medieval Hindu architecture in the Karnataka Dravida tradition.
