Rainbow from the Channakeshava Temple, Belur, Karnataka

It was a cloudy monsoon afternoon in the Hoysala kingdom, but as I approached the Channakeshava temple in Belur, the skies opened up to let in some late evening sun. This bright sunshine and its soft glow made for a great session of photography at this historic site.

And it got even better when a rainbow could be seen against the temple entrance. It was quite a sight to behold. A great natural moment against a great historic monument.

    This is a Govt of Karnataka (KSTDC) run place. The hotel is very close
    to the Chennakeshava temple and bus stand making it a very good choice
    for visiting halebid and shravanabelagola. The staff is cordial and
    helpful. I stayed there with my family and everybody loved the place.
    The rooms are big and clean.Thanks for sharing the infomation
