There’s more to the Hoysalas than Belur and Halebeedu
|
History beckons In Karnataka
In the fringes of the Western Ghats in Karnataka, the Hoysala Kings built hundreds of intricately-carved temples. Popular among them are Belur and Halebeedu, popular on the tourist circuit. But, there are more such structures that are unknown to peo
ple. Why is why it is time you went on a Hoysala trail, put together by two travel writers. They compiled information on the temples built by the Hoyala Kings, spoke to historians and went through documents prepared by Archaeological Survey of Mysore over the last hundred years. They visited more than two dozen ancient temples around Belur and Halebeedu and spoke to the locals to know about the stories and legends associated with each of them. Thus was born a heritage trail full of story telling sessions on the Hoysalas.
The monsoon edition of the Hoysala Trail is planned on August 29 and 30-ex Bangalore. For details, visit travelwise.in. For registrations, mail arun@travelwise.in or lakshmi@travelwise.in
