The "hennake!ava Temple, (annada? ಶ ಚನಕವ ದವಸನ) oriinally called #ijayanarayana
Temple (annada?ಜಯರಯಣ ದವಸನ), was built on the ban!s of the Gaachi Civer in Belur, by
the Hoysala Empire in 4ishnuvardhana. Belur, which was an early Hoysala capital is in
the Hassan district of arnata!a state, India. It is 0+ !m from Hassan city and &&+ !m
from Banalore. <henna!esava (lit , handsome esava) is a form of the Hindu od 4ishnu. Belur is

of ala!ad ($$$D /:), which resulted in the anne2ation of 1anavadi (modern southern arnata!a)
by the Hoysalas.#'% /nother theory points to 4ishnuvardhana>s conversion
from 5ainism to 4aishnavism (a sect of Hinduism) after comin under the influence of
saint Camanu"acharya, considerin this is a predominantly 4aishnava temple in sculptural
iconoraphy.#0% he Hoysalas employed many noted architects and artisans who developed a new
