Hassan and Chikmaglur – Temples of Rock and Hills Covered Green

May 17, 2009

I was away for a few days (and hence absence of posts here), partly on work and partly travelling. I was visiting some ancient temples built by the Hoysala kings near Hassan – at Belur and Halebeedu and some less known places nearby. While there, I made a quick visit on a morning to the verdant hills of Mullayyanagiri. The beautiful temples had intricate carvings and shapes that amazed me, and the green hills melted me in the moment.
