Halebidu is located in Hassan District, Karnataka, India. Halebidu was the regal capital of the Hoysala Empire in the 12th century. It is home to one of the best examples of Hoysala architecture in the ornate Hoysaleswara and Kedareswara temples.

Halebidu is just 16 km away from the one more historical place Belur (which I will cover in a separate post shortly). It is well connected by road and rail to Bangalore, Mysore and Mangalore. There are regular buses to Hassan. The distance is 149 km to Mysore and 31 km to Hassan.

Some photographs that I took are shown below. I hope you enjoy it. All these photographs can be downloaded from Shareapic.
