Javagal - Lakshminarasimha Temple

-

A beautiful Lakshminarasimha temple is  located in a small village that is associated with one of Indian cricket’s fast bowlers Mr. Javagal Srinath. This temple was in my bucket list from quite some time, while coming back from Chikkamagaluru we got an oppertunity to visit this beautiful temple. After visiting Belavadi we headed towards Halebeedu on the way we stopped near Javagal.   

About Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple: The Lakshminarasimha temple at Javagal, is a mid-13th century Hindu temple with Hoysala architecture. It is located in Javagal about 20 km northeast from Halebidu and 50 km from Hassan. This triple shrine temple is dedicated to Narasimha – avatar of Vishnu. It was completed between 1250–1260 A.D. by King Vira Someshwara of the Hoysala Empire.

The temple is a compact illustration of a square plan typical of Hindu temple architecture, but one where the three sanctums share a common mandapa. These sanctums are dedicated to Lakshminarasimha, Sridhara and Venugopala. It is notable for its lavish artwork consisting of over 100 panels, all intricately carved both outside and inside. Many of these panels depict legends from the Ramayana.







This temple is a protected monument under the Karnataka state division of the Archaeological Survey of India.

We can cover all these temples (Beluru, Halebeedu, Javagal & Belavadi) in one stretch. If you are a art lover then these are the must visit places around Hassan. 

The temple is open for visitors from 6 AM to 7 PM. However, in case the temple is closed, the priest House is next to temple only. If we go and request they will open the temple for Darshana.

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Horsley Hills is one of the perfect weekend getaway from Bengaluru, a bike ride to Horsley Hills offers a thrilling and scenic adventure. Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Horsley Hills is approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru, making it an ideal destination for a short road trip.   We can take multiple routes to reach Horsley Hills but we chose,   Bengaluru – Hoskote – Chintamani – Madanapalle – Horsley Hills route. Its approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru and need 4-5 hours (depending on number of breaks we take).   The road conditions are generally good, with a mix of highways and country roads. After Hoskote, it's a single road, but the condition is relatively good. Be cautious of some potholes and patches after crossing Chintamani. Arvind and I started our ride at 5:30 AM to avoid city traffic and enjoy the cool morning breeze. The roads were relatively empty, and the slight drizzling added to the beauty of the journey. After riding for about 30 kilome...
