Hoysala temples were very ornate containing many individual ceiling panels

The Hoysala dynasty ruled the south-western Deccan between 1006 and 1346 C.E. Inscriptions record the construction, renovation and maintenance of many temples by the Hoysala kings, their wives and ministers. Most of these temples were dedicated to Hindu deities such as Shiva and Vishnu, and famous examples can be seen at Halebidu, Belur and Somnathpur in Karnataka. Among the distinctive features of Hoysala temples are the voluptuous female bracket figures that decorate the roof struts. These sculptures typically comprise of an ornate tree canopy above a main figure flanked by attendants. Although the pieces in the British Museum are unsigned, a number of Hoysala sculptures were signed by individual artists. Such inscriptions reveal that some sculptors worked on multiple temples, perhaps part of an artisan group that traveled from site to site applying their trade. The signing of sculptures appears to be more common in Hoysala works of art than in other schools of Indian art. #swiggywala #localguides @googlemaps #hoysala #sculpture #indiaclicks #britishmuseum #travel #nature #photography #travelphotography #love #photooftheday #instagood #travelgram #picoftheday #instagram #beautiful #photo #wanderlust #naturephotography #art #adventure #travelblogger #like #instatravel #landscape #summer #trip #explore #follow https://www.instagram.com/p/CbpGQByv5LY/?utm_medium=tumblr
