Lesser Known Hoysala Temples Part I | Relax and Enjoy Series

Hoysala Means Chennakeshava Temple of Belur, Hoysaleswara Temple of Halebidu and Somanathapura. But there are many lesser known hoysala temples scattered around the Mysore and Hassan.
In 1978 Gerard Fokema, a Dutch Professor visited Karnataka for the first time and documented each and every hoysala temples. Hoysala Era temples are dedicated to Hinduism and Jainism. The Hindu Temples are either dedicated to Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu. It is very easy to understand which sect a temple belong to. If the name of the temple has suffix "Eshvara", then it is a shiva temple. Normally the suffix may be added to the name of the person who built the temple, or the village it is in or the royal dynasty which commissioned it. So when a man named Bucci built a Shiva temple in the Village called Koravangala, it was known as Bucheswara Temple.
Vaishnava temples always on the other hand always bear the name of the Deity the temple is dedicated to. The most common Deities are Keshava or Chennakeshava (Beautiful Keshava), Lakshminarasimha and Lakshminarayana. The prefix Lakshmi indicates that the idol of Narasimha and Narayana are worshiped along with his consort Lakshmi
Architecture of Hoysala Temple:
Hoysala Temples consists of multiple parts which are connected to each other. The simplest temples contain just two parts - a garbhagriha(literally womb house) or small hall which contains the idol, and a large hall outside the shrine, where the devotees gather. Above the shrine is a large tower, known as a “Vimana”. More complex floor plans may consist of a closed hall, an open hall, and a covered porch. A smaller tower on top of the hall, in front of the “Vimana”, is called a “sukanasi” or nose. Temples are usually built on a raised plinth, known as a “jagati”, which provides a path to devotees for circumambulation of the temple, which is an important part of the worship rituals. The interior of the garbhagriha will generally contain 1, 2 or 3 shrines or “Mantapa” and there may be further minor shrines in each corner. The floor plan is always a square, a staggered square, a star, or a permutation and combination of all of them. This gives the exterior of the temple a large number of recesses which are richly decorated with carvings of deities and scenes from Hindu epics and mythology. Hoysala temples are generally made of soapstone.

[@alupadynasty2203]

This are not carved. They must have possessed advanced tools and equipment

[@Indianglobetrotting]

I don't think so, there carvings are done in the 11th to 13th century and there is no proof about any machines used during those days

[@alupadynasty2203]

@@Indianglobetrotting those claims are of mainstream archeologist's , they judge by looking at inscriptions , and look at inscriptions date and think that whole temple is built by at that time , watch phenomenal travel videos he debunks it, the most of the dates are given by Western historians !! The bull which is highly polished cannot be achieved by chisels and hammers , Vedas describe of a weapon which can vaporize rock!! The most of the knowledge was lost because of destruction of nalanda ,taxila, vikramshila etc etc universities which led to loss of lakhs of books!! Indians knew plastic surgery , ayurveda , etc etc but credit was took by Westerners!! I can go on giving list of loots from Westerners!! Check phenomenal travel video ,check out all
