Summary
| Description |
English: The Chennakesava temple, also called Kesava or Keshava temple, is a Vaishnava Hindu temple.
It is located at Somanathapura (Somanathpur) in South Karnataka, in a small village on the banks of the river Cauvery, about 40 km from the city of Mysuru. The temple is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture and testament to the sophistication of Hindu art and architecture by the 12th-century. Built by 1268 CE by a commander of Hoysala king Narasimha III, it illustrates fine carvings with extraordinary details. The interior of the temple show richly carved reliefs, lathe spun pillars with fine details (elephant powered lathe), and panels showing legends from Hindu texts. Along with Vishnu avatars, various Hindu gods and goddesses of Shaivism, Shaktism and the Vedas are included. The largest carvings are those related to Vishnu. |
