Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas
UNESCO World Heritage Site / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas is a group of three Hoysala-style temples in South India recognized as World Heritage Site, Somanathapura, Belur and Halebidu which were built between the 12th and 13th centuries under the Hoysala Empire.[1] The architectural style of the three temples was developed by the early Hoysala rulers – who established their new kingdoms and regimes in South India – as a distinctive and innovative sacred architecture, which distinguishes the temples from contemporary kingdoms and dynasties.
