Temples

Bherya has a beautiful temple of lord Chennakeshava, a form of Lord Vishnu. The temple was built during the Hoysala era. [Alternatively, it is built by Cholas; a minister of Chola’s destiny named as Dhodda baira built this Village and Temple, hence follows the name of this village Bherya (Bhaira)]. The main deity, Chennakeshava idol in soap stone has a profusely carved Prabhavali. Doorway at the garbagriha entrance is also intricately carved. There are Jaya-Vijaya statues in stone at the doorway. The Garbagraha has no Shikara. The surrounding of Garbhagraha has many fine sculptures; most are broken including Dashavatara images. The ceiling of the navaranga has a well carved, considerably deep Bhuvaneshwari representing dikpalas in addition to geometrical and floral patterns. All over the Navaranga are fine motifs of Keerthimukhas, which are the live representation of Hoysala style. The Devakoshta has many has many fine relief sculptures. The architecture of a temple is along that of Temples in Beluru and Halebidu, but on a much smaller scale. The whole complex is begging for an urgent restoration and maintain ace.

The place also has temples for Lord Ishwara and Anjaneya, and a mosque.

An inscription in front of Anjaneya temple, dated 1606 AD quotes Devaraja Mahipala, perhaps Chikka Devaraja, son of Mysore king Devaraja Wodeyar. It speaks of village Bherya along with its twelve helmets being converted in to a new agrahara, and being renamed as Devarajapura. [2]

gollark: It is also kind of a shame the internet doesn't work as a magically autoconfiguring mesh network.
gollark: Since you have to jump through hoops to install cabling etc., and lobbying apparently got municipal ISPs banned in many places.
gollark: Those are not, as far as I know, actually that competitive.
gollark: There's just a lot of waste on stuff like advertising and reinventing things done by competitors which is at least theoretically avoidable.
