Description

The origin of the Hoysalas is a matter of much interesting speculation and controversy. Like their distinguished contemporaries, the Seunas, the Hoysalas too claim their descent from Yadu (Lunar Dynasty) and call themselves the Yadavas. The conventional titles like, "Yadavanarayana", "Yadavakutambrad-yumani" and "Dvaravatipura-varadhisvara" are common to both the Seunas and the Hoysalas. These details are compiled from internet and by various sources by the Blogger over the years.

Bhairava Temple, Pushpagiri, Hassan District.






BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS COURTESY: MR. DEEPAK SETTY of CHIKMAGALUR

Pushpagiri is a little hill station endowed with the nature's bounty in the form of the splendorous greenery of the forests. There are here a few temple of the Hoysala Age along with a modern Ranga Mandira (open air theatre). Pushpagiri can be used as a middle class area of rock climbing ventures. Just opposite this hill there is another one with a temple on its peak. Even that peak is suited for rock climbing feats. In the broad open area in the midst of the hill there are temple of Mallikarjuna, Bhairava, and so on. The Bhairava temple is on the neighboring hill. In the valley between these two peaks is found a pond of rough stones. A Saiva mutt has been carrying out religious rituals every day. A marriage hall (Kalyana Mantap) exists here. A broad Ranga Mandira (open air theatre) has also been built by the Government of Karnataka at a slightly lower level then the mutt.

    If anybody wants go from Hassan. There are 2 roots, one through Hassan- Salagame- Halebeedu. You will get enough buses to Halebeedu from there you can go by Auto or Local Auto or Tempo or Bus. It is about 6+ Kms from Halebeedu.
    Another root is through Hassan-Hagare( a middle place between Belur and Hassan) then take right turn. You will get passenger Auto from Hagere to Halebeedu., you need to get near the bottom of Hill and need to walk through or you can climb rock stairs.
