Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysala
The Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysala represent a distinct style of Hindu temple architecture, with exuberantly decorated exterior and interior surfaces.
They comprise three groups of temples from the 11th – 14th centuries. The Hoysala Kingdom tried to distinguish itself from its neighbours, resulting in the patronage of architecture, art, and literature by the royal family and elites. The Chennakeshava temple in Belur remains an important pilgrimage center.
