| Driving Destinations- Chikmagalur |
|---|
The roads around Chikmagalur are very narrow, especially in the hills. Due to the climate, they will always be moist if not completely wet. The moisture coupled with the thick red mud makes the roads quite slippery — exercise caution while going around corners or even on straights. At some places there is just not enough room for two cars to pass and you may need to back up a bit. The wind blows hard during the monsoons and sometimes uproots trees, so you may come upon a tree blocking your path. But the villagers usually clear this impediment in a jiffy. Chikmagalur
essentially means ‘younger daughter’s town’ in the local
lingo. The same way that Hiremagalur (a town which is a little distance
away) means elder daughter’s town. Looking at the two towns, one
can safely assume that the king who gifted them to his girls was fonder
of the younger one. |

In
Hiremagalur, there is a 1200-year-old temple which is one of the unique
Rama temples in India. Unlike other such places of worship in India,there
was no Hanuman statue anywhere in or outside the temple. The Hanuman idol
there has been recently placed. |

Belur and Halebid |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The
Chennakeshava temple in Belur is astounding for history buffs and you could
spend over an hour taking in the dancers and scenarios frozen in stone for
eternity. Only 16km away is Halebid, once the capital of the Hoysala dynasty.
The main attraction here are the Hoysaleshwara and Kedareshwara temples. |
