The outer wall of the Chennakeshava Temple
Built on a platform called Jagati, the temple is a star-shaped structure. The bottom part of the temple has seven bands. The lowest band is carved with elephants depicting the strength for taking the weight of the entire temple structure. Intricately carved frescos on the outer wall of the main Chennakesava temple depicts the stories from Ramayana, Mahabharata, dancing women, stories of Lord Shiva – Parvati, Vishnu, Brahma, Ganesha, Goddess Durga, Ravana and many other murals way ahead of their time. The artistic skills of women dressing up, playing, dancing, musician, drummers and instrumentalists. The incredible creativity and imagination in creating themes, and stories with animals and birds is something one should not miss out on.
