The Journey
Belur
Step back in time in Belur, the former capital of the Hoysala Empire, and marvel at the Chennakesava Temple, a testament to architectural brilliance that took over a century to build. The temple's walls are adorned with intricate carvings of animals, dancers, and scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. Inside, discover sculptures so detailed that the bracelets on a dancer's arm can be moved, and the headdress of another features a moveable ring. Admire the signatures of the sculptors, proudly etched as a testament to their craftsmanship. Indulge in the tranquility of Yogaksheema, an Ayurvedic resort renowned for its rejuvenating massages and Satvic cuisine, offering a perfect blend of cultural immersion and relaxation.
Halebid
Journey to Halebid, another jewel in the crown of the Hoysala Empire, located just 16 kilometers from Belur. Here, explore the magnificent temples dedicated to Hoysalesvara and Shantalesvara, where every stone tells a story of devotion and artistry. Behold the colossal statue of Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, a masterpiece that took 86 years to complete. Observe the delicate veins etched onto Nandi's face, a testament to the sculptor's incredible attention to detail. Halebid offers an unparalleled glimpse into the artistic and architectural prowess of the Hoysala dynasty.
Shravanabelagola
Ascend to Shravanabelagola, a serene town nestled between two hills, and witness the awe-inspiring Gomateshwara statue, the world's largest monolith statue. This 58-foot-tall marvel, perched atop a 470-foot hill, depicts Gomateshwara, the son of the first Jain Tirthankara. Embark on a climb of 600 steps to reach the summit, or opt for a palanquin ride. The panoramic views from the top are a reward in themselves. Immerse yourself in the local Jain community, savor authentic Jain cuisine, and discover the rich cultural heritage of this sacred place.
