Hassan is the base of visiting the famous temples of Belur and
Halebid. The temples at Belur and Halebid which remained incomplete
despite 80 years of labour, were the offerings of the finest
workmanship in stone to the Gods.The intricately sculptured
decoration on the temple according to
some critics are
even better than the friezes at Konark in Orissa and Khajuraho in
Madhya Pradesh. The temple at Halebid, the capital of the hoysalas
was started 10 years after the Belur temple. At Belur Channakeshava
Temple is the one of the three Hoysala sites which is still used for
worship. Halebid today is a rural village and Belur a small town and
the temples are only testimony to their past glory.
