Lakshminarayana Temple Hosaholalu | Krishnarajapet tourism Mandya tourism | Temple Karnataka tourism

Lakshminarayana temple Hosaholalu , Mandya Temple is an Ancient Hoysala Temple located at Krishnarajapet Mandya Karnataka India. The ancient Lakshminarayana Temple is located in Hosaholalu.It is one of the historic temples in Karnataka. The stone carved temples are part of Mandya Tourism and Karnataka tourism.
The famous temple of Lakshminarayana of ancient times has become an unknown temple of Karnataka in recent times.
It was built by King Vira Someshwara of the Hoysala Empire in 1250 C.E. The dating of the temple is based on the style of the sculptures and architecture that compares closely with the contemporary Hoysala monuments at Javagal, Nuggehalliand Somanathapura. The town of Hosaholalu is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) from Hassanand 45 kilometres (28 mi) from the heritage city of Mysore, the cultural capital of Karnataka state.
The temple is a splendid example of a trikutavimana (three shrined) temple though only the central shrine exhibits a tower (superstructure or Shikhara) on top. The lateral shrines are square in construction with five projections and no special features. The central shrine is well decorated and its tower has a sukanasi(called "nose") which is actually a lower tower over the vestibule that connects the shrine (cella containing the image of the deity) to the hall (mantapa). The sukanasi looks like an extension of the main tower over the central shrine. The material used for the temple construction is chloritic schist, more commonly known as Soapstone. The temple is built on a jagati (platform), a Hoysala innovation that elevates the temple by about a metre.
According to art critic Gerard Foekema, the temple as a whole exhibits the "new style" and belongs to the 2nd phase of Hoysala building activity (13th century), with two sets of eaves, and six moldings at the base of the outer wall. The first eave is located where the superstructure meets the temple outer wall and the second eave runs around the temple and about a metre below the first eave. In between the two eaves are decorative miniature towers on pilasters (called Aedicule), with sculptured wall images of Hindu deities and their attendants below the second eave. Being a Vaishnava temple (a Hindu sect), most of the images represent some form of Hindu god Vishnu, his consort and his attendants. There are a hundred and twenty such images. In all there are twenty four sculptures of Vishnu standing upright holding in his four arms the four attributes, a conch, a wheel, a lotus and a mace in all possible permutations. Below the panel of deities is the base of the wall consisting of six decorative rectangular moldings of equal width which run all around the temple.
The six horizontal mouldings are intricately sculptured and are called friezes. Seen from top to bottom; the first frieze depicts birds (hansa), the second depicts aquatic monsters (makara), the third frieze has depictions of Hindu epics and other mythological and puranic stories narrated in the clockwise direction (direction of devotee circumambulation), the fourth frieze has leafy scrolls, the fifth and sixth friezes have a procession of horses and elephants respectively. In the frieze that depicts the epics, the Ramayana starts from the western corner of the southern shrine and the Mahabharata starts from the northern side of the central shrine vividly illustrating the demise of many heroes of the famous war between Pandavas and Kauravas.
The interior of the temple consists of a closed hall (mantapa) of modest size with four polished lathe turned pillars supporting the roof. The four central pillars divide the hall into nine equal "bays" (compartments) and nine decorated ceilings. The sanctum of the three shrines contain the images of Venugopala, Narayana in the middle and Lakshminarasimha; all forms (Avatar) of Vishnu.

Very very much sir.I am from T.Nadu. Still old temples are therein T. NADU. Unfortunately, their the GOVT itself is an Ethiest govt , not interested in preserving the culture.. But never seen so much beautiful, intricate designs. But very sad , many are NOT preserved. Some of them Like Avani - Ramalinga - though with ACH Dept , yet in bad condition. These are our treasures , forget govt , we should protect & teach young children.Keep them clean , at least do 1 time poojas.

If titles or descriptions can be put in Hindi or English it will reach many people.

Astounding workmanship, each south Indian temple far exceeds the workmanship of Taj Mahal, and it is sad to see most of them defaced (we know by who). The temple pillars are amazingly intricate, even modern technology can't duplicate them. It is nice to see this temple functional, despite some defacing to the outside carvings. Great job and thanks- those of us living outside of India cherish these videos.

[@SudeeshKottikkal]

thank you, true the workmanship of these temples can not be duplicated . the Hoysalas have contributed immensely by constructing such wonderful temples across the southern part of India. The more we see it the more it makes us wonder about the creativity and ability of our ancestors.

Awesome bro. No words. Treasure of Karnataka. Your efforts in bringing out such things should be wholeheartedly appreciated. Let me know two things bro. One is why you have not posted captions /sub titles in English? Eventhough it is explained in description box, your narration in a nutshell is the most important part to understand quickly like me who could not follow in Kannada. Pl. Post captions in English. Second things why your people are not visiting these places as it seems no visitors. The deities inside the temple looks divine. The Shastri explained well in Kannada, but I could not follow without English. As a whole , your service is commendable, bro. Thank you.

[@SudeeshKottikkal]

as per our understanding and knowledge the carvings are incomplete at various stages in various places of this temple. that which appears damaged is due to wear and tear, as there is no record available of any attack done on this temple. This is also one of the reason why regular pooje has been done here since ages.

[@ajithvikram123]

@@SudeeshKottikkal Thanks Sudeesh for your response. My humble view is only the face is damaged in most of them. Remaining parts dont show any wear and tear.

General practice is that if there has been a deliberate destruction of temple then no pooje is conducted in that temple. During my interact with the Archakaru there he did not mention of any attack on the temple when talking about its history. You can talk to archakaru Sriyutha Rajabattaru for more details.
