The Kesava temple at Somanathapur, located 36 KM from Mysore in Karnataka is a good example of the Hoysala architecture. This grand celebrated temple enriched with intricate sculptures and architecture is erected on a raised terrace of star shape. The sculptures on the wall appear to have been executed on wood and not on stone with extreme perfection and dedication. Not just the sculptures this complicated structure proves their architectural dexterity and talent. This main temple is surrounded by pillared cloister with sub-shrines. This grand temple enjoys similar and at par importance as the Kesava temple at Belur and the Hoysalesvara temple at Halebid
