The Structural Temples of Gujarat
necessary to enter into details of the final phase dating after
1600 A. D.
(c) The Later Chalukyan or Hoysala Phase (c. 1050-1300 A. D.)
The temples built in Karnataka and Mysore during the
reign of the later Chalukyas and the Hoysalas respectively
represent a peculiar school of architecture which cannot be
classed under the Indo-Aryan or Dravidian School. The special
features of this school seem to have resulted from an admixture
of Indo-Aryan detail to Dravida building. In otherwards these
temples are of the Southern or Dravidian Phase in their plan.
but contain architectural ornamentation of the Northern or
Indo-Aryan phase. In terms of Indian architecture this type
may be classed as the Vesera type which is produced by an
admixture of the Dravida plan (Viny膩sa ) and N膩gara ornamentation
(Kriy膩). Naturally, the effect of the Southern style is more
eminently marked in Mysore in comparision to the northern
region showing the influence of the Dravidian overlaping and
interpretation over the Indo-Aryan style.
The typical Hoysala temple stands on a High polygonal
plinth, conforming in shape to the main building which is
wide enough to be used as processional passage. The main
structure in its simplest unit comprises a cell, a vestibule, a
pillared hall, the last often fronted by an open pillared pavilion.
But many of the temples contain from two to five such open.
pillared pavilions. The stellate plan of the sanctum or other
parts is another notable feature of this type. But the most
distinctive feature of this style is the lavish sculptural
decoration.
The typical examples of this style are the Ke艣ava temple 48
(c. 1268 A. D.) at Somnathapur (Mysore State), The group of
temples at Belur4 9 (c. 1117 A. D.) and the shrine of Hoysale艣vara 50
at Halebid (c. 1150 A. D ) in Mysore State.
