The 13th century Keshava temple, described as “poetry in stone”, is getting a makeover ahead of the proposed visit of the UNESCO team to inspect the Hoysala monument nominated for inscription as a World Heritage Site.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has begun sprucing up the last of the great Hoysala temples located close to the Cauvery and was built by Soma or Somanatha, a high-ranking officer under the Hoysala King Narasimha III (1254-1291 CE), in 1268 CE.
