Chennakeshava Temple | Hoysala Architecture | Belur | nomads in love

Music credit: www.bensound.com/
Chennakeshava Temple is a brilliant Hoysala architecture, an epitome of craftsmanship. The Hoysalas ruled the modern day Karnataka, part of Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu from 10th to 14th century. The Hoysala dynasty was started by king Nripa Kama II by making an alliance with Ganga Dynasty. Chennakeshava temple was built in 1117AD by the famous Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana and it took 103 years to complete. It is made up of soap-stone which is soft like clay, easy to carve out and when dries becomes a good weather resistant. We have been reading about Hoysalas since months now but when we visited it's temples, we think what we have read is just a drop in the ocean and hence we encourage everyone to visit at least once the Hoysala temples.

Temple built in vessera architecture, not dravidian architecture. Vessera architecture is mixture of nagara and Dravidian architecture, which is home to karnataka.

[@proximacenturion9222]

Hoysala architecture is different

[@nimishpoddar6474]

It makes me feel so sad and Happy at the same time looking at our historic temples Sad because i don't know there existence unless it comes in front of you like this video because our our culture was always kept hidden by so called secular politicaians and extremely happy to see that such things also exists Would visit it after my exams get over in December! Thankyou 🙏🏻

[@nomadsinlove3283]

You have explained exactly how we feel while visiting. Always a mixed feeling. How little we know about these masterpieces in our country and how many of Indians still don't know! We hope more and more people know about them. Thank you for expressing. We know now, we are not alone. 🙏
