Hoysala Temples are India's Nomination for World Heritage Tag
The sacred ensembles of the Hoysala, the famed Hoysala temples of Belur, Halebid and Somananthpura in Karnataka, were finalised as India's nomination for consideration as World Heritage for 2022-23. These protected monuments are on UNESCO's tentative list since April 15, 2014.
The Hoysala architects used their profound knowledge of temple architecture in different parts of India, and these temples have a basic Dravidian morphology but show strong influences of the Bhumija mode widely used in Central India, the Nagara traditions of Northern and Western India, and the Karntata Dravida modes favoured by the Kalyani Chalukyas.
After the submission, UNESCO will communicate back by early March and after that the site evaluation will happen in September/ October 2022. The dossier will be taken up for consideration in July/August 2023.
