The Hidden Hoysala Marvels around Turuvekere and Hulikal

Sarathy PB August 10, 2021

One reason I consider myself as a satisfied explorer just because not only nature excites me but also Art and Architecture gives me loads of happiness and satisfaction in exploring them and learning the messages our Ancestors portrayed through Art and Architecture.

Karnataka has 500+ ASI Monuments and Tamil Nadu has 450+ Monuments ( 2nd & 3rd in the country) and around 80% of them are not so famous and not well known still they all are centuries old ( 11th-14th) and needs lots of appreciation and preservation for the fact our Ancestors have built such beautiful monuments and portrayed education and lifestyle through arts and culture..

We continued our trip from the Sri Lakshmi Narashima betta and hit towards Turuvekere where we planned to visit 6 to 7 such Hidden Hoysala Temples and I am listing the temples below. The beauty about visiting these places is that most of the temples are locked and you need to check with localities who gives you the key with trust and happiness.

1) Karadeshwara temple - Nagalapura

2) Chennakeshava Temple - Nagalapura

3) Kalleshwara Temple - Hulikal ( This one floods during Monsoon and makes a nice scene)

4) Chennakeshava Temple - Thandaga

5) Mule Sankreshwara Temple - Turuvekere

6) Chennakeshava Temple - Turuvekere

We never forget to feed hungry souls in our Trips

Shiraz Bro the Proud Kannadiga and always a pleasure to do trips with you

I have done my Engineering B.tech and have also did my Masters in Australia and thats where it all began the habit of exploring mother nature around me..Coming back to India I decided to look around all the astonishing places of my country and then slowly started to roam the world also.. I also have a small nature group called as " The Law of Nature" with the members support have planted 4800 trees around Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and have also removed tons of plastics from Biologically Important junctions and Animal reserves. My dream is to dedicate myself in winning the war over banning plastics and also to plant as much as trees as possible. I like to conserve water for the poor farmers and also to connect farmers with direct consumers. My Facebook Profile : https://www.facebook.com/sarathy.pb
