  • The Chennakesava Temple, also referred to as Chennakeshava Temple and Keshava Temple, is a Vaishnava Hindu temple on the banks of River Kaveri at Somanathapura, Karnataka, India. The temple was consecrated in 1258 CE by Somanatha Dandanayaka, a general of the Hoysala King Narasimha III. It is located 38 kilometres (24 mi) east of Mysuru city. The ornate temple is a model illustration of the Hoysala architecture. The temple is enclosed in a courtyard with a pillared corridor of small shrines (damaged). The main temple in the center is on a high star-shaped platform with three symmetrical sanctums (garbha-griha), set in a square matrix (89' x 89') oriented along the east–west and north–south axes. The western sanctum was for a statue of Kesava (missing), the northern sanctum of Janardhana and the southern sanctum of Venugopala, all forms of Vishnu. The sanctums share a common community hall (sabha-mandapa) with many pillars. The outer walls, the inner walls, the pillars and the ceiling of the temple are intricately carved with theological iconography of Hinduism and display extensive friezes of Hindu texts such as the Ramayana (southern section), the Mahabharata (northern section) and the Bhagavata Purana (western section of the main temple). The Chennakesava temple, states George Michell, represents the climax of the development in Hoysala temple style and yet is also unique in many ways. (en)
  • El templo de Chennakesava, también llamado de Chennakeshava o de Keshava, es un templo hindú del visnuismo erigido en la ribera del río Kaveri en Somanathapura, Karnataka, India. El templo fue consagrado en 1258 (o 1268) por Somanatha Dandanayaka, un general del rey hoysala Narasimha III. Está ubicado a 38 kilómetros al este de la ciudad de Mysore. La ornamentación del templo es un ejemplo del modelo de arquitectura hoysala. El templo se organiza alrededor de un patio con un pasillo porticado de pequeños santuarios (dañados). El templo principal se encuentra sobre una plataforma con forma de gran estrella con tres santuarios simétricos (garbha-griha), configurados en una matriz cuadrada (89' x 89') orientada a lo largo de ejes E–O y N–S.​ El santuario occidental se dedicaba a una estatua de Kesava (desaparecida); el del norte, a Janardhana; y, el del sur, es el santuario de Venugopala; todas las formas de Vishnu.​ Los santuarios comparten una sala comunitaria común (sabha-mandapa) porticada. Las paredes exteriores, las interiores, los pilares y el techo del templo están intrincadamente grabados con iconografía teológica del hinduismo y muestran extensos frisos de textos hindúes, como el Ramayana (en la sección sur), el Mahabharata (sección norte) y el Bhagavata Purana (sección occidental del templo principal).​ El templo de Chennakesava, para George Michell, representa el clímax del desarrollo del estilo hoysala y es un templo único en muchos aspectos.​ (es)
