Well, my Bhabi’s distant relatives live in Hassan… So, we had a great time in interacting with the locals and visiting the places unlike other tourists. We got to experience the local flavor of Hassan and trust me, it’s truly wonderful.
The neatness and simplicity of that city took my heart away.
Here’s what you can see in Hassan:
The Shennakeshava temple
The Shennakeshava temple is another very finest architectural marvel carved temple which is said to have been built for more than 100 years for its completion. There are intricate and magnificent sculpture everywhere around the temple and is said to be one of the most exclusive frescos of the century. There are designed and sculptured elephants, epical episodes and many sensuous dancers which are seen carved and intricated in the sculpture art of the walls of the temple. The well decorated and awesome workmanship in the pillars and the temple shrines is very attractive and amazing to record it in the cameras and videos. The Veeranarayana Temple and other smaller shrines are also worth a visit.
