Sunset with Somyanayaki Temple of Chennakeshava Complex (Kesava Temple of Belur) in Hassan, Karnataka, India
The Chennakeshava Temple, also referred to as Keshava, Kesava or Vijayanarayana Temple of Belur, is a 12th-century Hindu temple in the Hassan district of Karnataka state, India. The temple is dedicated to Vishnu and is remarkable for its architecture, sculptures, reliefs, friezes as well its iconography, inscriptions and history. To the southwest of the Kesava temple is a small temple to Somyanayaki (form of the goddess Lakshmi), also dated to the 12th century. This temple is notable because the local tradition holds that its tower is miniature version of the major tower that once rose above the main Kesava temple
