The collection includes three of South India’s most iconic Hoysala temple complexes, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. The Hoysala dynasty carefully selected and combined features of contemporary and ancient temples to create a unique identity from neighboring kingdoms. Features of these temples include hyper-realistic sculptures, full-surface stone carvings, wrap-around platforms, large sculptured galleries, multi-layered frieze, and sculptures depicting the Hoysala legend.
