Halebidu, Belur

Halebidu is a historically and culturally rich town, cocooned in the Hassan District of Karnataka. What was once, in the 12th century, the regal capital of the Hoysala kingdom, is now home of the architectural splendours of that era.

Highlights:
The town harbours a beautiful collection of temples and shrines, of which the Hoysaleshwara and Kedareshwara temples are the most iconic. The once-grand town is now mostly in ruins, but it still retains a lot of the history. All one needs to do is explore a little to unfold the pages of history itself.

To say that it is just another one of the famous tourist places in Belur would be an understatement. A visit to Halebidu is as good as taking a trip back in time, to the Hoysala era!
