Halebidu - At its Best!!!



Halebid has several outstandingly beautiful Hoysala temples and Jain shrines. These temples are sculptural variety, richly endowed with most finely detailed work in stone. One can see a hummock where the Palace stood, a sight having archaeological significance and exquisiteness.

Halebid in Kannada means destroyed past, or one can say small town with several large tanks, highlighting its glorious past a ruined city. Halebid is the house of lots of tourist attractions including Hoysaleswara temple, Basadi Halli, Belur, Shantaleswara Temple and Kedareswara Temple. It has a museum which has a good collection of Ancient Sculptors.
