Consider the following about Hoysala Temples :
1)The Hoysala Temples of Belur, Halebid and Somnathapura in Karnataka was finalised as India’s nomination for consideration as World Heritage for the year 2022-2023.
2)The 'Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysala' are on UNESCO's Tentative list since 15th April, 2014 and represent one of the highest points of human creative genius and stand testimony to the rich historical and cultural heritage of our country.
3)The sacred ensembles of the Hoysalas, built in the 12th-13th centuries and represented here by the three components of Belur, Halebid and Somnathapura, attest to the creativity and skill of the Hoysala artists and architects who built these masterpieces of a kind never seen before or since.
4)The Hoysala architects used their profound knowledge of temple architecture in different parts of India to their advantage.
5)The Hoysala temples have a basic Darvidian morphology but show strong influences of the Bhumija mode widely used in Central India, the Nagara traditions of northern and western India, and the Karntata Dravida modes favoured by the Kalyani Chalukyas.
6)Therefore, the Hoysala architects made considered and informed eclectic selections of features from other temple typologies which they further modified and then complemented with their own particular innovations.
The result was the birth of a completely novel 'Hoysala Temple' form.
