The Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas is a group of three Hoysala-style temples in South India recognized as a World Heritage Site.

[1] The three temples under the title of the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023, for their outstanding architecture, hyper-realistic sculptures and stone carvings.

The temple is reached by a 210 km (130 mi) long drive of about 4 hours on the National Highway 75 heading west from Bangalore Airport.

At the same time, the Hoysala kings made a concerted effort to establish a new and distinct identity for their kingdom through patronage of art, architecture and literature.

[8][9] The main Chennakeshava Temple at Belur was completed in 1117 AD, although the complex continued to expand for over 100 years.

Repairs are evidenced by the varying color and quality of stonework in the veranda and north tower and in parts of the platform of the main temple.
