It is located near to the several important ancient monuments. One of them - the strengthened island Shrirangapatnam, where in 1799 during the battle the military genius of Moslems Tippu Sultan has been crushed, and the state has passed to Englishmen.
Now the rests of the fort, the mausoleum and a summer palace of Tippu were kept, and just in several miles from it a majestic Somnathpur Temple lays. History can be revisited here on your holidays in Karnataka.
Between Belure and Halebid there is a train of cave temples. On the artistic execution, riches of details and ideal finishing they cannot be compared with the other cave temples of the country.
Another group of sights, which is necessary to visit, is sparsed round a boring railway of the small town Hassan. |
