About Halebidu

Halebidu was a flourishing capital established under the Hoysala Dynasty, who ruled this region in the 12th Century. King Vishnuvardhana of Hoysala Dynasty was inspired by the place, that he decided to establish his capital here. It's popularly known as "Dwarasamudra". The flourishing capital was plunged into ruins during the various invasions that took place in the 14th to 16th Century from the northwest frontiers, and hence the name Halebidu was later adorned to this place to mean "The Old Capital" or the "Destroyed Capital". Tourists can stay either at Hassan or Chikmaglur and cover both Belur and Halebidu in a single day.
