My Camera Log

After visiting the beautiful   Doddagaddavalli Temple   on our way, we finally reached our vacation spot –   Dwarasamudra Resort , located near   Belur . I had come across this resort many times on social media and always wanted to visit. This time, we finally got the chance, and it was worth the wait! The resort offers different types of stays – from regular rooms to spacious villas. We chose to stay in one of the  villas , which gave us more privacy and comfort. The moment you enter the property, you get a warm and homely feeling. The entire place is designed with a  heritage look , filled with  ancient furniture and traditional décor , which makes you feel like you’re staying in a beautiful ancestral home. The resort is located far from the busy city, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. We stayed here for  two days . One full day, we just stayed inside the resort, relaxing and spending time with the kids. The resort has enough open space ...

During our stay at the peaceful Dwarasamudra Resort  in Belur, we planned to visit a few nearby attractions. Instead of covering too many places, we chose to visit the famous   Manjarabad Fort   in Sakleshpura for a short trip. The drive to the fort was scenic, with lush greenery and cool breeze all along the way. As we reached the fort, it started to drizzle continuously. While the rain added a magical and misty charm to the surroundings, we couldn’t spend much time exploring due to the wet weather. We quickly made our way up the steps to take a look at the fort. You’ll need to climb a few steps to reach the top of the fort, and it’s about a 15-minute walk from the parking area. Even with limited time, we managed to click a couple of nice photos before heading back to our resort. One thing to note —  parking here is a bit tricky, especially on weekends , as the area can get crowded with visitors. So it’s better to come early if you’re planning to visit on a weekend....

The summer holidays were almost over, and we hadn’t managed to take the kids out anywhere. So, we quickly planned a short vacation and booked a stay at   Dawarasamudra Homestay , located near   Beluru . We started early in the morning, giving ourselves enough time to explore before reaching the homestay. After a quick breakfast, we decided to visit  Doddagaddavalli Temple —a place we had missed during our last visit to the famous Beluru temple. Since it was on the way, it turned out to be a perfect stop. Though  Doddagaddavalli Temple  is not as grand or large as the Chennakeshava Temple in Beluru, it has its own charm. This beautiful temple, built in  1113 AD  by  King Vishnuvardhana  of the  Hoysala Dynasty , is one of the earliest examples of Hoysala architecture. It is dedicated to  Lakshmi Devi  and is unique because it houses multiple shrines inside a single complex. The carvings and stonework are stunning, showcasing the...
