Bhudanoor hoysala Temples, Maddur Taluk, Mandya district, karnataka

Bhudanur village comes in Maddur taluk of Mandya district, a place near by the Bangalore to Mysore Highway is known for Hoysala historical temples. Sri Kashi vishwanatha temple and Sri Anantha Padmanabha swamy temple are located inside the Bhudanoor village which is 2 Km distance from Bangalore to Mysore Highway. This village completely exposed to modernization but not in cleanliness. Both the temples are situated in a walkable distance, these temples were built by Hoysala and in hoysala style of architecture. Both the temples becoming deteriorated due to lack of maintenance, these temples are notified by archeological survey of India. Daily pooja will be held at both the temples in the morning 7:00 AM and in the evening 4:30 PM. Once we looked at the temple design and architecture an imagination comes true that how the Hoysala kingdom solely identified from their unique style of construction even-though least designed temples doesn't give up the name " HOYSALA "

Biligiri Ranganatha swamy Betta (ಬಿಳಿಗಿರಿರಂಗನ ಬೆಟ್ಟ) OR Biligiriranga Hills

It was a Mid-day at MM Hills and we started towards Biligiri Ranganatha swamy Betta which is situated in Yelandur Taluk of Chamarajanagara Disitrict, it’s approximately 110 KM from MM hills to BR Hills via Kollegala towards yelandur road. Black cloudy sky promises for heavy rain, our enthusiasm and greenery pushes the limit to throttle, taking the advantage of moist air we doubled the speed to hit the top of BR Hills in a quick time, surprised and more surprised with the black cloud and beautiful greenery around BR Hills, we have visited Ranganatha swamy and Alamelamma temple and opened our gears to shoot at quick speed. Spent an hour at BR Hills and we started our journey towards Chamarajanagar via yelandur route.

Male Mahadeshwara Betta (MM Hills), Kollegala Taluk, Chamarajanagara District, Karnataka

A momentum was started in our mind to travel MM Hills, thought to visit the temple and to have good photos of lord Shiva’s own place, once again we have enough time to spend for photography by motor bike traveling, and it’s a 210 KM from Bangalore.

We started around 5:30 AM morning and reached MM Hills around 11:30 AM after all those stops for good photos, rainy season makes perfect colors to the environment.

Mahadeshwara temple managed by Karnataka Government under the Muzrai Department. Temple area is maintained as dust free ! cement roads are properly constructed and maintained. Anna Dsasoha is provided under temple management.

As I said above rainy season made a perfect buffet for a camera enthusiast’s and a beautiful day at MM mountains.

Route for MM Hills:

Bangalore – Maddur – Malavalli – Kollegala – MM HILLS : 214 KMs
