| About Somnathpur Tourism |
|
Set on the shores of the Cauvery River, the tiny village of Somnathpur is situated just 45 km from Mysore and around 140 km southwest of Bangalore. This seemingly nondescript hamlet is known widely as the home of the Keshava Temple, one of the finest representations of Hoysala architecture. Somnathpur
seems to be enveloped in a timeless quality, reminiscent of a bygone
era. Its past was characterised by rich and powerful rulers. The last
dynasty to rule this region were the mighty Hoysalas, an affluent and
influential empire that built several spectacular temples, the most
impressive one being here. In fact, the village was named after
Somnath, the Hoysala general who commissioned the temple's construction.
