      The Hoysaleswara Temple (along with Shravana belagola & Belur) was on my travel list from long time but couldn't plan since i didn't find anyone interested in heritage places like this. Finally i planned solo trip and booked bus tickets with KSTDC 1 day tour. KSTDC run non-AC bus on this route. The bus goes first to Jain Temple, Shravana belagola (read my review) - Chennakeshava Temple, Belur (read my review) and then goes to Halebid which is only around 15 Km from Belur. The Hoysaleswara temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and built by Hoysala King Vishnuvardhan's commander ketamala. The temple complex comprises two Hindu temples, the Hoysaleswara and Kedareswara temples. In front of these temples there is a large lake. There are two Nandi monoliths on the sides of the Hoysaleswara temple. Soapstone was used for the construction of these temples. There is an archeological museum in the temple complex. The temple has got intricate carvings, beautiful idols on the ceiling and walls, 108 pillars on which temple structure rests.This temple is now proposed as UNESCO World Heritage Site by the Government of India. One can hire a guide if coming by personal vehicle, however KSTDC tours provide guide by default.Hotel Mayura Shantala is a decent place for food/lodging/bar located just in front of the temple.The heritage tour ended with Hoysaleswara Temple, Halebid & Chennakesava temple, Belur along with Jain Temple at Shravanbelagola visit. People interested in heritage tour should visit Hoysala kingdom temples once which are very rich in artistic beauty & splendor and are worth a visit.

      Very interesting carvings - fantastic detail. A guide gives much more information that in the books and makes it more meaningful.

      The Temple is very old, gives the rich heritage of the country, this is a must visit place. It is very close to Hassan (Bangalore to Hassan is 180 KMS), Hassan to Halebidu is 35 KMS.

      Its a heaven for art lovers of the world! A heritage centre. I disliked the fact that the temple is not in good shape but still, you could spend hours studying the minute carvings. It has lost its super structure but looks very imposing. According to our guide, the Highlight of the temple is Darpana Sundari or "The lady with the mirror". Even in darkness, you can see the shining pillars. Narasimha pillar in the Navaranga, looks unique in its splendor.The facade of the temple is filled with intricate sculptures -with no portion left blank.

      I don't think I have to add any thing more than just say most beautiful intricate and delicate cravings. The temple looks great, no doubt but you cannot tell them to be majestic.What is great about the temple is the very very intricate and delicate stone sculptures. I loved them, inspite of me not being a great appreciator of ancient art. I visited on the way to chikmagalur and on recommendations of some friends, loved my experience and have deep respect for quality of ancient indian art skills.

      This temple is dedicated to Vishnu and its exterior is covered in intricate soapstone carvings. The skill demonstrated in these carvings is immense. The 12th century temple is well worth a visit. It is located a reasonable distance from Belur and the names of the two places, Halebid and Belur, are often linked together in guidebooks. Belur is the site of a temple dedicated to Shiva. This temple is not nearly as impressive as that at Halebid. As in other Hindu temples, it is necessary to remove shoes before entering the temple area. Shoes are stored in a designated at the cost of 5-10 rupees.

      It definitely is not one of the more famous places you read in the history books. But we decided to go to Halebid or Halebeedu since it was not too far from Bangalore. (Its about 3.5 hrs ride). I was pleasantly surprised at what we found. Its an unassuming structure when you look at it from far. But once you get close, the carvings on the wall are really, really nice. Well kept and clean, I'd say its one of the nicest historical places I have visited in India.There is not much to see in Halebid other than this one temple though. However, one can go to Belur. And the area around Halebid, which is mostly agricultural land with hills in the background in my opinion is so refreshing and nice.

      Is great art structure to visit. We didn't get the opportunity to go inside as we arrived there late because we took bad road from Hassan. Anyways we're went around the temple having snaps around and observing the art. This is the similar work, just like Chennakesava temple in Belur. There are two ways from Hassan to Halebid. One is through the road which goes to Belur, another which directly takes you to directly Halebedu. Do not take the direct road, it's in very bad situation.
