Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kesava temple has a collection of defaced and damaged artwork. Most of the Hindu and Jain temples and their artwork was defaced and damaged when Hoysala Empire and capital was destroyed in 14th century by Delhi Sultanate.
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. |
