Chenna means beautiful while Keshava refers to Lord Vishnu. Thus, the name - Handsome Vishnu - should give you a clue of the deity to whom this temple is dedicated to. It is said that it took over 100 years for the temple to be finished. A task started by King Vishnuvardhana and completed by his grandson.
Belur is a small town in Hassan district in the state of Karnataka, India.
The town is renowned for its Chennakeshava Temple dedicated to Vishnu,
one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture and the largest Hindu temple complex
that has survived from pre-14th-century Karnata-Dravida tradition.
A historic site inspired by the teachings of Ramanujacharya,
it has been a Vaishnava Hindu pilgrimage center since at least the 12th century.
