NARASIMHA PILLAR

One of the most magnificent creations and designs of the Hoysala era, the Narasimha Pillar is a stone pillar looming at a height of 30 feet. This pillar, crafted out of soapstone, is situated inside the complex of the famous Chennakesava Temple.

Amongst the fifty different pillars located inside the temple, the Narasimha Pillar is something of an artistic marvel. It carries, in a miniature form, all the unique architectural features of the temple. You can spot all the sculptures of the temple carved onto this pillar, too. The Narasimha Pillar is another thing that makes the Chennakaseva Temple one of the most fascinating places to visit in Belur!
