Hi

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for santhebennur pushkarani and found this. Visited few hoysala temples like belur, halebidu, Aralaguppe, Hosaholalu etc but not in one day. Thanks again for information. BTW you should also check Sravanabelagola, which we would have visited in school trip, but found it interesting on a recent visit.

Bye

This is fantastic! loved reading about the trip.. would love to do this sometime too!

Hi,
Very good trip indeed that you covered so many temples. I have that book of Gerard if you want I can lend for few days.
I would be covering the Hoysala trail soon, after completing my Chalukyan temples and your map will be very useful for that. Thanks once again.

excellant narattion and geographywork. mouthwatering. have to follow your route someday.

Hi,
Good trip you have done,I too am doing the hoysala trail,just wanted to know if you have visited arkere and lesser known mavathanahalli temple,hardly 10 to 15 kms from javagal.

Wonderful trip. I had been to Halebidu, Sravanbelagola and Belur temples. Loved the route that you took.

Fantastic effort… We need to be proud of our real History not the one taught by the Government. All photos are excellent

So beautifully done and gave so much info.(last 35y living in US) i am proud and blessed to be an Indian.

I have recently visited Tipu’s summer palace near Bangalore old market. In the court yard of the palace there was a photographic exhibition of Hoysala temples from all around Hassan+. I thought of planning a visit of these temples similar to you. Nice journey I can imagine. I will do this trip when I am back in India next year.
One thing to mention here is that although we complain about the Government’s function, this Archeological department’s effort in reclaiming and preserving the surroundings is laudable. I hope this preservation will continue for the years to come.
Thanks to Archeology Department and who ever invovled in preserving these temples.

And again thanks for the direction and some basis for the plan I was trying to make.

Manjunath.

Dear friends,

I have 2 reasons to go through your posts on Hoysala temples – 1) I have decided to write my dissertation for the course on ‘Appreciation of Art’ I am going through @ RMIC,Calcutta during 2012-13 and 2 ) our visit to Belur/Halebid/Somnathpura planned during Nov.,12.

We have 3 days for these sites – have other plans too. We may or may not be able to cover some of the lesser visited temples. But, I must admit that I am indeed ‘floored’ by your travelogue – both text and photographs.

Pl keep up the good work. If you ever plan to cover terra cotta temples and Muslim architecture of West Bengal in future, pl do get in touch with me for any help you may need.
Best wishes.

very good information for us.
