The Chennakeshava Temple in Belur, India, is a remarkable example of Hoysala architecture, constructed during the 12th century under the reign of King Vishnuvardhana. This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is renowned for its intricate carvings, detailed friezes, and elaborate sculptures that cover every inch of its surface. The temple's main attraction is the 6.5-foot-tall statue of Chennakeshava (an avatar of Vishnu), which is exquisitely detailed and beautifully adorned. The complex also features several smaller shrines, majestic pillars, and an assembly hall with exceptional craftsmanship.
