SrI:

Dear SrIvaishNavAs,

http://www.pbase.com/svami/anekal

Chennakeshava perumal temple located in Anekal near Bangalore. It is 
a fine structure facing East with the Mahadwara facing to the 
South.The Temple housing a square Garbhagriha has two niches on the 
outer walls. Chenna Keshava is  flanked by Sri and Bhu Devi . It is 
informed that when decorating the idol as Mohini or Venkatesha 
(during Vaikunta Ekadasi) He looks exactly as the form decorated. 

There are four ornately decorated pillars in the navaranga. One of 
the pillars has themes from the Ramayana, Bhagavata, Vishnu 
representing Vishwaroopa, Gajendramoksha, and Dasavatara.The second 
has Yoga Narasimha, Varaha Matsya, and Kalingamardana beautifully 
carved. On the third pillar are depicted Garuda, Hanuman, Kamadhenu; 
Kurma.The fourth pillar has sculptures of good workmanship of 
Balarama, Vamana, Vali and Sugriva in a fight, and Trivikrama.The 
ceiling has a carved lotus bud. 

The Mysore Archaeological report states that the deity is said to 
have been set up by Pandava prince Arjuna In Dwapara Yuga

There are distinct Kumbha panjra or Kalashas done in high relief on 
the outside of the ardhamantapa and brightly colored.

There is a very big mUrti of Udayvar which is four and a half feet 
Heigh. I think it is fairly big Murthy after Bellur (But here He is 
in Anjali Mudrai and in Bellur it is Upadesha Mudrai)
