About 4 hours north of Mysore are two ancient Hoysala-era temple sites in the towns of Belur and Halebid. These temples were begun to be built sometime in the 11th century. One of them is still in use today, and both are extremely impressive. We actually took over 200 photos of the detailed stone carvings covering the outside and inside of the temples… it’s hard to stop! The temples were truly an epic scene, it reminded me of something out of an art history book. We were lucky enough to see it up close and in the flesh. One of the highlights of our trip thus far.
