| About Hassan Tourism |
The town of Hassan is in Karnataka's southern district of the same name, and is 934 m above sea level. It has been named after the town's presiding Goddess "Hasanamba" and is called Karnataka's temple-architecture capital. Hassan dates back to the 11th century, under the rule of the Hoysala Dynasty (11-14th century), who were largely influenced by Jainism.
Sightseeing:
Within the city visit the Hasanamba Temple,
where the enshrined Goddess is represented by an anthill, and is open
to visitors only for a week every year in the month of October. The
temple opening is inaugurated by a big fair (Jatra). The other temple
to visit is the Siddeshvara temple, built by Venkatappa Nayaka, one of the Nayaka rulers. |
