Chennakesava temple [ Map📍: maps.app.goo.gl/kukeVodxuAFNN... ]
Chennakesava Temple, also known as Kesava Temple, is a magnificent example of Hoysala architecture located in Somnathpura, a small village in the Mandya district of Karnataka, India. It was built in the 13th century during the reign of King Narasimha III and is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture in India.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is built in the trikuta style, which means it has three shrines, each with its own tower. The main shrine is dedicated to Chennakesava, the form of Vishnu that brings peace and happiness to his devotees. The other two shrines are dedicated to Keshava and Janardhana, two other forms of Vishnu.
The temple is built on a raised platform and is surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden. The exterior of the temple is decorated with intricate carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The carvings are so detailed and well-preserved that they have become an important source of information about life in ancient India.
The entrance to the temple is through a massive gateway that is intricately carved with scenes of elephants, horses, and mythological figures. Once inside, visitors can admire the beautifully carved pillars and ceilings that support the roof. The temple is also known for its intricate carvings of gods and goddesses, including a beautiful depiction of Lord Vishnu in his reclining form.
One of the most unique features of the Chennakesava Temple is the fact that it is oriented to the east, which means that the first rays of the sun fall directly on the main shrine. This was an important consideration for the builders of the temple, who wanted to ensure that it was aligned with the sun and the cycles of nature.
Despite being over 700 years old, the Chennakesava Temple is remarkably well-preserved and is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Hoysala architects and sculptors. It is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Indian history and architecture, and a stunning example of the rich cultural heritage of India.
