Hoysala Architecture is a distinctive style that flourished in southern India between the 10th and 14th centuries, primarily under the rule of the Hoysala Dynasty. This architectural style is characterized by intricate carvings, star-shaped platforms, and detailed sculptures that often depict Hindu deities, mythological scenes, and floral motifs. The most notable examples of Hoysala Architecture can be found in temples such as the Chennakesava Temple in Belur and the Hoysaleswara Temple in Halebidu. These structures are built using a unique soapstone, allowing for fine detailing and craftsmanship, making them significant cultural and historical landmarks.
