Kappe Chennigaraya Temple, Mysuru

Mysuru city itself contains several fine Hoysala-era temples. The Kappe Chennigaraya Temple is one of them, a small but exquisitely carved Hoysala Vaishnava temple from the 13th century.

The Mysuru region's Hoysala temples represent the most refined tradition of soapstone carving in Indian art history, where every surface was treated as an opportunity for artistic expression in miniature detail.
