Bois, I present to you, a temple befitting the main deity's name "Channakeshava" ( the Beautiful Keshava) - the Somnathpura Channakeshava Temple, Karnataka.

"The Chennakesava Temple, also referred to as Chennakeshava Temple and Keshava Temple, is a Vaishnava Hindu temple on the banks of River Kaveri at Somanathapura, Karnataka, India.

The ornate temple is a model illustration of the Hoysala architecture.

Hanuman Ji Face to face with Ravana!

When Ravana refuses to offer a seat, Hanuman Ji coils his tail to make an elevated seat & sits at a higher position than Ravana.
