Hoysala Dairy: Symbolising Karnataka…

-

 

Overview: After visiting Belur and Halebid, I had almost concluded that there can't be a better marvel by the Hoysalas. But after doing some research and reading some blogs by travel gurus, I thought why not visit other legacies which the Hoysalas have left behind.. I did few trips to cover a few places but still I could not cover all the heritage sites. Below is the map showing Hoysala temples in different parts of Karnataka. Mostly concentrated along the Malnad region. I will publish each of the places in the map below in the coming weeks and link it to this main post.



 
Hoysala Trail-I: We visited a number of Hoysala temples in this trip across Hassan and  Tumkur districts. We covered the below places:

A visit to my native place: The Village of Music, Rudrapatna

Image
Overview:  Situated on the banks of the river Cauvery, Rudrapatna is a beautiful small village in Hassan District of Karnataka with rich history, and happens to be my ancestral village too. This is one of the places where the people from the Sankethi community initially settled around 700 years ago, and were instrumental in modelling this as a 'village of music' or 'Sangeetha Grama' as it is known today. The village is also known for its Sanskrit Paathashaala, at Shankara Math near the Rama temple, which is trying to keep the traditions alive in the village. Rudrapatna Rudrapatna Sankethi community is known for music, and this village has produced many Carnatic musicians like R.K. Suryanarayana, R.K. Srikantan, Rathnamala Prakash, R.K. Padmanabha and several others. The Tamboori shaped temple is a tribute to all the musicians from this village and was built under the leadership of Vidwan Shri RK Padmanabha in the 2000s.

Tibetan Settlements in Karnataka

Overview: I have always been overwhelmed with the welcoming smile and warmth of the Tibetan people. There are a few pockets in Karnataka where we can find Tibetan settlements, or we can call them 'Mini Tibet'. One of them is the popular Bylukuppe in Mysore district. The Namdroling Monastery of Nyingma, which is also popular as the Golden Temple, is the biggest monastery here.   Further south of Bylukuppe is the Dhondenling settlement at Odeyarpalya in Chamarajanagar district, where few of the prettiest monasteries can be seen in the backdrop of the BR Hills. The biggest monastery here is the Dzogchen Monastery.   Moving a few hundred kilometres towards North of Karnataka is the Doeguling Tibetan Settlement of Mundgod in Uttara Kannada district. One can see Tibetans chanting their prayers and living peacefully in these areas.   The monasteries are a place where the Buddhists offer their prayers, so it is better to maintain silence while visiting these places.
