Thank you for joining us for this exciting event! We promised a fun and productive weekend that you'll be talking about all year long. Seminar highlights include: A prominent southern state in India, is well known for its rich fine arts, cultural history and a thriving information technology industry. The Hoysala dynasty ruled Karnataka from 1006 AD to 1346 AD, which was one of the brightest periods in the history of Karnataka. Hoysalas were the builders of the great temples at Belur, Halebid and Somanathapura, which have been declared as the human heritage sites by UNESCO.
The Seminar: “Hoysala 2004”
The well-rounded and comprehensive seminar presents the art-history, art forms, music, dance-forms, sculpture and literature, that were in vogue during the period of the Hoysala kingdom in southern India, circa 1006-1346 AD.
The Hoysalas’ were great patrons of art and culture, and also great builders and iconographers. This period of Hoysala history in the state of Karnataka, (Southern India), though much earlier, is comparable to the period of Renaissance in Europe. During the Hoysala period new types of art forms emerged that till this day has influenced the artistes the world over to create and produce numerous adaptations in a variety of ways.
The seminar is most beneficial to the students of: Fine arts, Theatre arts, new types of opera, ballet and dance-drama, Art history, Architecture and sculptures, and Art literature. Museum members and the general public would also find the information rewarding. Many other features are added to the seminar to make it both educational and entertaining to all the attendees.
The seminar offers action ideas for the participants toward developing “fusion” themes in the fields of fine arts including opera, sculpture, literature, and artwork.

Other attractive features of the Seminar
How can we understand the Hoysala legacy?
Many Kannada Vrinda’s members are native to Karnataka. We have heard of and visited some of the Hoysala temples and enjoyed their beauty. The well-known temples of Belur, Halebid and Somanathapura are just the 3 Hoysalas temples that are well publicized and therefore well known to tourists and art lovers all over the world. What about the other 150 + Hoysala temples that were built by the Hoysalas in our land ? Although many of them in ruins, some are still in excellent condition, in spite of their exposure to the nature. These 800 –years old still stand today as a testament to the art and architecture of the great Hoysalas.
Dr. Gerard Foekema, a born Dutchman from Holland, has done an outstanding work of identifying and documenting these 150 + Hoysala temples. He has made over 40 trips to Karnataka, to document accurately and in great detail, these 150 + temples. He has produced 2 large books on Hoysala architecture and 3 large books on the Chalukya architecture. He has collected over 50,000 photographs and slides pertaining to the above sites. The Government of Mysore’s archaeological department, almost 50 years ago, has documented the existence of many Hoysala temples in our state. We have to be very thankful to them for their invaluable work. Such work has helped in the cause of preserving the legacy of the Hoysalas.
We are very fortunate that Dr.Gerard Foekema has kindly agreed to speak at the Hoysala 2004 seminar and share his valuable experience. He will be joined by more than a dozen other presenters to give us a total Hoysala experience. In his own words, Dr. Foekema has said that to fully understand the Hoysalas, one should visit all the 12 Hoysala sites that are listed here by him. Amritapura, Arsikere, BasaraLu, BeLavadi, Belur, Dodda Gadavalli, HaLebid, Hosaholalu, Machalaghatta, Mosale, Nuggehalli and Somanathapura.
