Does anyone have the sAhitya for this composition?

T M Krishna sang this here - I was slightly puzzled by the line 'mahishapuri chenna bArO' ; ( Chenna ususally refers to chenna kEShava; and there is no famous chennakeshava temple in Mysore, AFAIK.

Could it be referring to this temple?

It's not in Mysore city, but the district. I know of other Chenna Keshava temples in Belur and Bindiganavile.

Umesh wrote'I know of another temple of Chenna Keshava in Belur.

Is this the temple/God referred to in the song 'Ksheerabdhi kannigE'-
'bElUra chennigarAyanigE'?

Normally, when one talks about chennakESava, it is invariably about the deity at Beluru. But there are other temples too - mostly built by Hoysala kings in 10-13th centuries.

More about bELURu temple here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belur

bElura chenniga ( The Handsome of Belur

is referred to in several dEvaranAmas, including kShIrAbdi kannike, kanDena gOvindana etc.

Is there any audio available for Ranga Baro that some one can help me with?
