Dear SrIvaishNavAs,
http://www.pbase.com/svami/anekal
Chennakeshava perumal temple located in Anekal near Bangalore. It is
a fine structure facing East with the Mahadwara facing to the
South.The Temple housing a square Garbhagriha has two niches on the
outer walls. Chenna Keshava is flanked by Sri and Bhu Devi . It is
informed that when decorating the idol as Mohini or Venkatesha
(during Vaikunta Ekadasi) He looks exactly as the form decorated.
There are four ornately decorated pillars in the navaranga. One of
the pillars has themes from the Ramayana, Bhagavata, Vishnu
representing Vishwaroopa, Gajendramoksha, and Dasavatara.The second
has Yoga Narasimha, Varaha Matsya, and Kalingamardana beautifully
carved. On the third pillar are depicted Garuda, Hanuman, Kamadhenu;
Kurma.The fourth pillar has sculptures of good workmanship of
Balarama, Vamana, Vali and Sugriva in a fight, and Trivikrama.The
ceiling has a carved lotus bud.
The Mysore Archaeological report states that the deity is said to
have been set up by Pandava prince Arjuna In Dwapara Yuga
There are distinct Kumbha panjra or Kalashas done in high relief on
the outside of the ardhamantapa and brightly colored.
There is a very big mUrti of Udayvar which is four and a half feet
Heigh. I think it is fairly big Murthy after Bellur (But here He is
in Anjali Mudrai and in Bellur it is Upadesha Mudrai)
