Belagur and Halu Rameshwara Temple, Hosadurga, Karnataka

Collecting the best photos and post it in the blog tends lot of enthusiast to view and provide their update on those places closely, i have been to Hosadurga which is in chitradurga district of Karnataka, Belagur and devapura are the two places, which is famous for the Anjaneya and Halu Rameshwara Gangamma temples, again it was not a planned weekend drive. We visited first Belaguru Sri Veera Prathapa Anjaneya temple, these temples were built in Davida style, Belagur welcomes with many Arches built across the temple streets, recently few television media’s showed these temples and places of importance and we heard from one of the priest at Belaguru regarding the one more temple, he suggested to visit Halu Rameshwara temple, then we moved towards Halu rameshwara which is located in the outskirts of Hosadurga Taluk, which is on the way to Hosadurga to Hiriyur road, Devapura is a place name in which the Halu Rameshwara and Gangamma Devi temple comes. Both are most visited temples in Hosadurga taluk and also believed for Miracles. Roads are pathetic from Arasikere to Hosadurga, but it's quite good from other cities like Hiriyur and the district place Chitradurga. Hosadurga is a taluk place here the infrastructure and boarding feels better, Rock mountains covers the Hosadurga Taluk hitting 40+ degrees Celsius in summer seasons. Railway and Private Buses are the major transportation facility in this area. Over all the complete area receives very less rain fall, and feels very hot even in rainy season. Pomegranate and pluses (grain legume) is the major crop of this area.
