Summary
| Description |
English: Keshava TempleKeshava Temple, Somanathapura is situated on the left bank of the Cauvery River. The Keshava temple was built in AD 1268, by Somanatha Dandanayaka, an illustrious General of the Hoysala King Narasimha III (1254 – 1291 AD) and named after him.
This temple is a perfect example of the Hoysala style of architecture. It has three sanctums on the West, South and North to Keshava, Venugopala and Janardhana, all connected. It is an ornately carved temple of magnificent craftsmanship depicting Vishnu, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha, Rati-Manmatha and Mahishasura. The ceilings and door jambs leading to the sanctum sanatorium are exquisitely carved. There are inscriptions engraved on a slab standing at the entrance, inside the temple, dated from 1269 to 1550 AD that detail the construction of the temple and grants made to it.
