We delve into the origins of the Hoysala dynasty, tracing their roots to the Malnad region. Explore the legends surrounding the dynasty's founder, Sala, and his encounter with a tiger. Discover the unique blend of martial prowess and cultural patronage that characterised the Hoysala rulers, and how they transformed the Deccan landscape with their magnificent temples.

By focusing on both their historical significance and their human side, Ramjee Chandran strives to present a nuanced and engaging portrait of this fascinating dynasty.
