Chennakeshava Temple is Belur's signature Hoysala shrine, commissioned by King Vishnuvardhana in 1117 CE and finished over a century of building. The star-shaped jagati, lathe-turned pillars, and wall panels of dancers, deities, and court life reward a slow circuit of the platform. Guides help you read the carved stories, and the open courtyard stays photogenic through the day. Most travelers pair Belur with Halebidu on the same Hassan heritage loop.
