Halebid

I’ve heard many versions but I don’t know which is the “correct” version of the history behind the temple. The version I know best is that he built the entire temple out of stone by himself in three nights. Who knows the real version and is able to verify it?

This is the most favorite place on the face of the earth for me. I love sitting there for a long time and day dreaming. I do not have the count how many times I been there. Halebeedu (search in net for: halebeedu, halebeed, halebid or dwarasamudra) is one of the very skilled work I have seen.
shadow without any botheration. And this is one of the photos I
shot when I had the camera.

I usually go there with no luggage, no camera and no cell
phone, so that I can sleep on the natural lawn under the tree

There are many reasons why I go there. One is its uniqueness, it is built in Hoysala style – very different from any other south Indian temples (tamilnadu is kingdom of temples; most of all other state temples are built in the same of architectural style, except few historical ones). Second is it is very calm – only Pease lovers come here, god lovers go to the other similar temple nearby belur. And third reason is the surrounding, it’s green.
