Belavadi (29 km from Chikmagalur)

Belavadi

This quiet and quaint village, according to legend, is where Bheema (one of the Pandava princes) vanquished and killed Bakasura, a demon. Today, it draws architecture and history buffs with its ornately carved and sprawling Veera Narayana Temple which dates back to a time when the Hoysalas were in power. Made of soapstone, this gorgeous Vaishnava temple has three shrines, each boasting a different image of Lord Vishnu. Intricate carvings, life-like sculptures, elaborate lintel decorations and unique ceiling art make this temple Insta-worthy.
