Hoysala Art

  • The Hoysala style of art developed in the Karnataka region between the 11th and 14th centuries under the reign of the Hoysala kings. The Hoysala kings built over 1500 temples.
  • Early evidence of this style is found in the Chalukya temples of Aihole, Badami and Paddakal.
  • This style reflects different aspects of humanity and spirituality. Religious tolerance is its main feature. Shaiva, Vaishnavite and Jain temples were built in this style.
  • The Hoysaleshwara temple of Halebid which is a Shaivite temple and the Keshava temple of Somnathpur which is a Vaishnavite temple are the prominent examples of this style.
  • The Government of India has proposed to declare the sacred symbols of Shanti Niketan and Hoysal as a World Heritage Site in 2021-22.
