Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A very beautiful and calm temple visit. I had a wonderful visit with a knowledgeable guide taking me through the temples history and symbolic. If you are historically interested and love visiting temples, this will not disappoint you.

Beautiful gardens are surrounding this ancient rock temple. The atmosphere was very quiet and serene. Beautiful carvings are carved into these hard rocks. Inside there is a cave like feeling with statues on two sides. One really gets a sense of peaceful temple. Although there is no worship being conducted there now. It a lovely historical monument.

This temple does not have any pooja anymore due to the damages in early times. But it's worth a visit during your stay in Mysore as it's not that far just an hour drive from the city.
And you will witness an amazing architecture of this temple made from stones. Entrance ticker is INR 20/-PP which is quite generous and the whole complex is maintained by ASI. The staff at the entrance is quite helpful.
High Kudos: To ASI for maintaining the beauty of this temple and also the garden areas as well.
Once you enter the temple the guide are easily available and they will charge INR 400/- for 30mins. tour which is worth it. And these charges are fixed by ASI.

We read about this heritage site before we went, but my wife and I were enthralled by the beauty of the sculptures and architecture of this temple made out of soap stone.
The ceilings had intricate carvings of bananas, lotuses. Stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata too carved so well on the outer walls. Erotic carvings too could be found which depicted the permissive society of those days. It is a real pity that many of the idols had been damaged by invaders in the past.
No puja or prayers are offered at this temple because the main deity idol too had been vandalised some centuries back.
It is Hoysala architecture at its best. Don’t miss visiting this place if you come to Mysuru.

A few hours south of the Hoysala hotspots in Belur and Halebidu, this Chennakeshava temple is a model illustration of Hoysala architecture. It has been built by Somnatha Dandanayaka, a general of the Hoysala King Narasimha III. It features some of the finest Hoysala stone carvings.
It's situated in the small village Somnathpura in an idyllic setting. There is another smaller temple, the Mondusale temple, on the banks of Kaveri, situated in rice paddies, that is not well maintained but extremely photogenic.
The temple is easy to reach from Mysore and Bengaluru. A visit can well be combined with the sites in Mysore and Shrirangapatna.

Somnathpur Temple is around 40kms from Mysuru and I would highly recommend visiting this place. This is a temple from the time of Hoysala Empire and has been made incredibly. The architecture of this place is mind-blowing. You would be amazed to see the carvings on the walls as it has complete Ramayan and Mahabharata. The entry ticket is Rs. 20 per person which needs to be booked online or you can reach there, do the same through scan code. I would suggest taking a guide else you would not understand anything about the place and architecture. The guide charged us Rs. 400 and I felt it was worth it.

Located around an hours' drive from Mysore, the Chennakeshava temple in Somnathpur is an example of Hoysala architecture. The beautiful 13th century temple is worth visiting for the intricate sculpture on the walls, pillars and ceilings depicting stories from Hindu mythology. The ornate historical temple is well preserved by the Archeological Society of India.
There are a couple of areas which need improvement :
- There is no ticket counter and payment for entry is only through UPI, which is difficult in view of poor network in the area. No options for cash or cards
- There is no proper cafeteria. A good and clean one is required
Improvement in these areas would greatly benefit tourists, including foreign ones

I have previously reviewed this (four years ago). It’s still amazing. Unfortunately, I was only able to enter today through the intervention/help of my driver. See, ASI only accepts online payment, in a place with hardly any signal. But even then I got an error. What a mess. Until ASI gets rid of this idiotic payment system, I cannot recommend any site they manage. Sorry, India, you really have to fix this.

The intricate carved ceilings seem difficult to photograph: is it possible without a flash (or multiple flash if you're a professional!). I am a keen amateur, with a Canon EOS 5D and several Canon lenses, and I have taken acceptable shots inside St Peters, Rome hand held, and inside the Grand Mosque in Cordoba with a unipod.
Maybe a wide-beam led flashlight?
I will be there in January 2020. Bright, cloudless sunshine might just filter enough through the doorways to enable "available light" shots at high ISO and one-thirtieth sec, hand held, at f/4 (17-40mm wide-angle zoom) or 2.8 50mm lens?
How did you get yours: grasskode, harshvardhan244, etc???

The light inside is significantly less compared to St Peter's or Mezquita with dark corners. You may get enough light for a high shutter speed closer to the door but the actual ceiling is pretty dark. Unfortunately they also have artificial lighting randomly placed inside which creates stark contrast of brightness and shadow. A wide beam flashlight held by your companion would be useful.
I'm not a great fan of hiking up the iso above 6400. Perhaps Ok for seeing on a mobile phone screen for Insta but not on a bigger screen. I don't know whether you have access to noise cancelling software, if so then you can try with higher speed.
The photo I've put here was taken handheld with Nikon D 750, no flash at f/4, 24mm, 1/30, ISO 6400.
Unfortunately TA doesn't allow to insert links here otherwise I could have shown a few more of my pics which I felt were pretty acceptable after some post processing to bring out the details etcv.

Roads are the best right upto the somnathpur temple.
Many eateries on the bangalore mysore highway , so not a problem.if you are going to somnathpur from mysore , it is just a 30 min drive , but there are no eateries on the interior roads....from mandya , its about an hours drive - but very very good interior roads....as good as the main highway.

There are lot of options
