Although close to Mysore, the very popular tourist destination, the Chennakesava temple in Somnathpura is not as well known. Built in the typical Hoysala style, with a central courtyard, surrounded on all sides with a colonnaded gallery, housing a series of small shrines and rooms, this temple is a must-visit writes Supriyo.
