Halebeedu

Hello Travelers,

Belur was the first capital of Hoysala Kingdom. They shifted their capital to present day Halebeedu later on. It was called as Dwarasamudra in those days. Halebeedu is situated in the Haasan district of Karnataka. It is approx 230 Kms from Bangalore and 16 Kms from Belur. 

Another famous temple of Hoysaleshwara is in Halebeedu town. The architecture and intricate carving of Idols are similar to ones in Belur.

So after visiting Belavadi we proceeded towards Halebeedu. Please spend at least 1-2 hours.

Belavadi

Hello Travelers,

After visiting Belur we proceeded toward Halebeedu, then I came across the name Belavadi which I had read about on wiki. So I thought of exploring.

Belavadi is a small village and it has a temple of Sri Veeranarayana Swamy Temple. The architecture is similar to Hosysala Architecture. I was simply bowled over when I say the temple's Krishna idol especially. Please visit this temple if you are visiting Belur and Halebeedu.

Belavadi is 220 Kms from Bangalore and 28 Kms from Belur. Please spend at least 30 mins.
