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:

Visiting the places near Sakleshpur, Hassan, Karnataka.

We spent a day to visit two old houses which is still holding the voice of our old traditional rural life in between the rush of modern side of construction, these two houses are in Sakelshpur taluk of Hassan District, one is in udewara and other one is in Narvey, thanks to the monsoon atmosphere and attractive lights, udewara house was pretty old believed to be it was built before 500 years ago, this house believed to be built by the landlords (Jamindaaaru), this house is not maintained properly ! i was astonished that these houses having more facility even todays generation was not even have a thought about that, we spoken to one of the owner of udewara house and he shared that his family was having more than 1000 acres of land which was completely the current village and near by villages, now currently they are holding a few acres of land loosing the Vast area, another Narvey house which is maintained properly which provokes perspective of thinking b/w old and new generation, looking at these type of houses i can say we are loosing the hold on our lived and living culture, what ever the situation, race and critics. thanks to the house owners for the best snaps.
