The extraordinary Channakeshava temple of Belur was built in the 12th CE by Vishnuvardhana who was the greatest king of the Hoysala dynasty. The Hoysala dynasty ruled from 10th to 14th Century AD. They were largely contemporary of Cholas of Tamil Nadu. Vishnuvardhana built the Belur temple to commemorate two things - victory over the Chola king as well as conversion from Jainism to Vaishnavism.
