Belur Stormy Story Day
Belur is a small hamlet near Hassan in Karnataka. It is famous for its Chennakeshava temple built in 1116 AD by the Hoysala kings.
It contains the finest stone sculpture in terms of realistic details. Perhaps the best that any Indian temple or sculpture of that genre one can think of.
I was wanting to capture the wondrous carvings but Heavens would not permit me to do that. They let loose a flurry of heavy rain on the summer day and after that, the light was never going to be adequate enough.
So here is a wide angle look at the temple complex . One has to be happy with what one gets.
