One day, one elsewhere n° 20

Every day, you can find a relaxed morning to keep your mind open to the world by subscribing to the blog. All you have to do is click on the blue banner at the bottom of the article!

Enter the temple and take an instant dive into time immemorial.

To be seized by the beauty of the place.

Walk around the temple and be amazed by the work done by the sculptors on the stone.

Shiver with happiness as the place is so impressive.

Be captivated by the fine friezes that run all around the building.

Getting closer to soak up every detail.

Then move a little further away so as not to lose sight of the big picture.

To be enthralled by the deities surrounded by their mandorla.

To admire the play of colour contrasts between shale and lighter stones.

To stand there, speechless, without words to describe what you feel is so powerful.

Falling into ecstasy remembering that this temple was built by the Hoysala dynasty in the 12th century.

Seek to remember the different names given to it :

Chennakesava Temple…

Kesava Temple…

Never forget that one day you were here in this Vaishnava – Hindu temple – on the banks of the river Kaveri.

Let art vibrate in you and see that this star-shaped temple, with its 3 symmetrical sanctuaries, resonates deeply within you.

Let yourself be touched by Hindu theological iconography and its delicious frescoes, each one more refined than the last.

Savour the evocative scenes from the life of the people.

Admire again the finesse of the lines.

Contemplate the whole.

Falling under the spell of the divinities.

Looking forward to seeing the Ganesha you now know so well.

Say nothing, just soak up the place.

To be astonished that nature always takes back its rights.

And suddenly return to everyday life when you are caught by a bunch of young girls who ask you to make some selfies together.

Finish this immersion in Indian culture by taking part in a photo session with a group of friendly Indians.
