Panorama: Belur-Halebidu
http://bsomnath.blogspot.com/2009/03/belur-halebidu.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Belur and Halebidu served as the capital of Hoysala empire, which ruled modern day Karnataka and part of Tamilnadu from 10. To the middle of 14. We took Chalukya express from Yesvantpur at 6.30 in the morning and reached Arsikere in two and half hours. The bus for Halebidu was to start around 11. So we (five of us) decided to hire a car(@700). Our first destination was Halebidu. The road was reasonably good, albeit narrow. The Hoysaleswara temple. Dedicated to lord Vishnu.
