This is seventeenth in the series on the rich cultural heritage of ancient temples in India. There are various intricate sculptures in each of these temples where each one of them is better than the other.
Chennakesava Temple at Belur is renowned for its sculptural marvel. Here are some of the sculptures that are present on the exterior of the temple on the south-west wall.
