Chennakeshava Temple of Belur, is a 12th-century temple in Hassan district. It was commissioned by King Vishnuvardhana in 1117 CE, on the banks of the Yagachi River in Belur, an early Hoysala Empire capital. Darpana Sundari (Celestial Maiden with mirror) is mounted on a pillar on the left side of main entrance. She is holding a mirror and looking at herself. She is wearing fine jewellery and beautiful dress. Her elegant stance suggests she is a dancer, and it appears as though she is looking into the mirror just before the start of a dance performance.
