History & tradition
The Nageshvara and Chennakeshava temples stand side by side in the village of Mosale near Hassan, Karnataka. The pair are almost identical, one dedicated to Shiva and the other to Vishnu, and both are richly ornamented examples of Hoysala architecture. Their sculpture also includes panels on the goddess tradition and Vedic deities. The carved ceilings are especially admired, showing how the artisans built on innovations from the earlier Chalukya period.
