Chennakesava Temple, Pushpagiri, AP
Pushpagiri is a village in Kadapa District, in Andhra Pradesh, India. It has a number of important temples, of which the largest is Chennakesava Temple and it is thought to date from 1298 CE.
The sculptures and carvings of this temple are one of its kind. It is even referred to as “Mini Hampi”!
I have not seen in any temple so many sculptures! Every inch of this temple is decorated with sculptures ranging from few inches tall to life sized ones! This temple was built during the reign of Cholas and later developed by Kakatiya and Vijayanagara rulers.
I have posted some pictures here and also two video presentations on the sculptures of this temple in two modes – portrait and Landscape.
Photography is allowed in this temple!
