The UNESCO team, including an expert from International Commission on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), visited the 13th century Keshava temple at Somanathapur in Mysuru district on September 16 before concluding its tour of Hoysala monuments in Karnataka.
The visit is a precursor to the ICOMOS expert, Tiang Kian Boon, submitting his report to UNESCO, which will decide whether the monuments could be accorded the World Heritage Site tag, possibly some time in 2023.
