Kolkata Kali Maa Temple 

The Dakshineswar Kali Temple was founded around the middle of the 19th Century by Rani Rashmoni. Rani Rashmoni was a Mahishya by caste and was well known for her philanthropic activities. In the year 1847, Rashmoni, prepared to go upon a long pilgrimage to the sacred Hindu city of Kashi to express her devotions to the Divine Mother. Rani was to travel in twenty four boats, carrying relatives, servants and supplies. According to traditional accounts, the night before the pilgrimage began, Rashmoni had a vision of the Divine Mother, in the form of the goddess Kali in a dream and reportedly said,
There is no need to go to Banaras. Install my statue in a beautiful temple on the banks of the Ganges river and arrange for my worship there. Then I shall manifest myself in the image and accept worship at that place.

Belur Temple History

The ancient city of Belur, located on the banks of the Yagachi River in Hassan district, is cloaked in mystique. It was previously called Velapura. Belur was chosen as an alternate capital city by the Hoysala dynasty after the attack and subsequent destruction of their capital Dwarasumudra (now known as Halibeedu) by the sultans of Northern India.
The Hoysalas were genuinely fond of art and architecture. During their near 300 year reign, several temples and monuments were built under their patronage. The best of Hoysalan monuments were reserved for Belur. The innovative architecture, beautiful sculptures draw several thousand every year to both Belur and its twin city of Halibeedu.

Sightseeing options in and around Belur

Belur is called the modern Vaikuntha (heaven) on earth due to its peerless history and cultural significance. The city contains several architectural and spiritual gems which draw several thousand tourists every year

Chenna Kesava Temple

This architectural marvel is dedicated to Lord Vijayanarayana, one of the 24 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. It was built by King Vishnuvardhana to commemorate the Hoysala victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad.

The architecture of the temple has Chalukyan elements as the artisans who worked on it were Chalukyan. The temple took 103 years to complete. Veera Ballal II, grandson of Vishnuvardhana oversaw the completion.

The temple is adorned with exquisite carvings depicting scenes from the Upanishads, Mahabharata and Ramayana. The sculpture of Darpana Sundari (lady with mirror) is noteworthy for its flawless craftsmanship.

Several bracket figures portraying celestial nymphs have been sculpted on the walls of the temple. All these figures are said to have been intended as a homage to the timeless beauty of Shantala Devi, Queen of King Vishnuvardhana.

Kappe Chennigaraya Temple

This small shrine is located south of the main sanctum of the Chenna Kesava temple. It resembles the main temple and is dedicated to Kappe Chennigaraya. It was consecrated by Shantala Devi. The idol of the deity is a thing of beauty and draws several thousand devotees every year. It was installed at about the same time as the idol of Kesava in the main temple.

The Gravity Pillar

The decline of the Hoysalas saw the emergence of the rulers of Vijayanagara. The reign of King Devaraya saw his commander Bice Dandanayaka install the unique 42 feet tall lamp post, the Karthika Deepotsava Stambha.  This pillar is a testament to the architectural expertise during King Devaraya’s reign, with the post simply placed over a flat platform. It appears to be standing on its own dead weight, and has astounded visitors for ages.
