from Bangalore is the District Headquarters of Hassan. This is a convenient base to visit Shravanabelagola, Belur and Halebid.Hassan is a pleasant busy little town and the most convenient base to explore Belur (38km), Halebid (33km) and Sravanbelgola (48km). The District Museum here has a collection of sculpture, paintings, weapons, coins and inscriptions. This fairly large city is located on the national highway linking Mangalore with Bangalore. Apart from being a centre of transport and commerce, the district is also known for its salubrious climate. The place also offers a wide variety of accommodation and can be well accessed by road or rail to Bangalore, Mysore or Mangalore. The temples of Halebid - like those of Belur - bear mute testimony to the rich cultural heritage of Karnataka. The Hoysaleshwara Temple, dating back to the 12th century is astounding because of its wealth of sculptural details. The walls of the temple are covered with an endless variety of gods and goddesses, animals, birds and dancing girls. Yet no two facets of the temple are the same. This magnificent temple, guarded by the Nandi Bull was never completed.
