This captivating book unravels the temple's rich history, artistic brilliance, and spiritual significance, offering an in-depth exploration of its creation, evolution, and preservation. From the visionary reign of King Vishnuvardhana in the 11th century to its modern-day reverence, the Chennakeshava Temple stands as a testament to the Hoysala dynasty's devotion to art, culture, and faith.

The book also explores the temple's religious role, focusing on festivals like the Vairamudi Utsava and the legacy of Queen Shantala Devi, whose patronage of dance and music enriched the temple's cultural traditions. Through careful research and vivid storytelling, The Sacred Stones of Belur also examines the temple's enduring preservation efforts and its recent inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list, emphasizing its universal appeal and global importance. The book brings to life the sacred stones of the temple, each one etched with centuries of history, faith, and artistry, inviting readers to explore the timeless tale of Chennakeshava-where the past and present continue to meet in an eternal dance of stone and spirit.
