What
the Parthenon is to Greece and the pyramids to Egypt,
the Hoysala temples at Belur are to South Indian architecture.
Belur's main temple, Chennakeshava was in 1117 AD to celebrate
Hoysala military victories and took over a hundred years
to complete. Stories from the Puranas, the Upanishads
and other mythological sources have been executed in the
most exquisite and authentic detail, as have tales from
the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Friezes of charging elephants, each different from the
other, mythological figures, military scenes, dancers
and musicians, and elaborate decorative motifs…
The winged figure of Garuda, Lord Vishnu’s carrier,
stands at the entrance facing the temple, palms touching
in homage... The angled bracket figures depicting celestial
nymphs, singing, dancing or executing daily chores…
Each work has significance, a tale to tell.
The temples at Belur and Halebid are the cream of what
remains of the Hoysala Dynasty. The most photographed
and perhaps the best there ever were, they are a must
on every tourist's temple itinerary.
