Anand Photo Workshop

Welcome to Anand Photo Workshop (...my Passion), a site about everything photography has thought me. The goal of this website is to provide you with access to some of the best pictures which I have tried my skills on and down the line you will love it. Being able to "pick the brain" of a Professional Photographer can be an invaluable tool.I just want to shoot the breeze and get to know the people on the board, there's always the Digital Sofa, our general, off-topic freeforall. :)

Belur - Chennakesava temple

A Hoysala architecture dedicated to Chennakeshava, meaning handsome Vishnu,surrounded by the Kappe Chennigraya temple built by Shantaladevi, queen of king Vishnuvardhana.

Temple was built by king Vishnuvardhana in commemoration of his victory over the Cholas at Talakad in 1117 CE

The Dravida style rayagopuram at the entrance which was a later addition by the Vijayanagar kings, who considered this deity as one of their Kuladevata or family god.

Darpana Sundari (Lady with the mirror) carved on walls of Belur Temple is one of major attractions in the complex

Legend has it that it took 103 years to complete and Vishnuvardhana's grandson Veera Ballala II completed the task.
