Situated
in the unobtrusive village of Somnathpur, 35km
from Mysore, the exquisitely carved, star-shaped
temple with triple towers is a perfect example
of Hoysala architecture. The friezes on its
outer walls with their intricately carved rows
of caparisoned elephants, charging horsemen,
and mythological birds and beasts will leave
you spellbound. Beautifully sculpted images
of gods, goddesses, and scenes from the epics,
as well as the remarkably ornate ceilings in
the pillared hall will take your breath away. |
