This ornate ceiling is from Chennakeshava Temple in Belur built in Hoysala period.
Just see the exquite details of ceiling, a world wonder in itself. It comprises of outer octagon within which 16gon and concentric circular rings having Narasimha at the centre.
This is close-up view of innermost
ring, Narasimha though small is carved with perfection. See the details
of scroll work,
it appears partially hollow. Loshtha are equidistantly placed and between each consecutive ring, small sculptures/scene are carved with amazing perfection.
This is unfortunate that GoI promotes only Delhi centric Heritage sites and such marvelous temples are left to decay. Karnataka alone has at least 100s of such small and big temples, all equally magnificent in their own way.
