1000-year-old masterpiece — the Veeranarayana Swamy Temple. 🕉️✨ Built during the reign of Hoysala King Veera Ballala II around 1200 CE, this temple is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture, yet few have even heard its name. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in three magnificent forms — Veeranarayana, Yoganarasimha, and Venugopala Ekachakranagara, the legendary town from the Mahabharata where Bhima defeated the demon Bakasura. Even today, that legend gives this village a mystical aura. ✨ One of the most fascinating facts? Around the spring equinox, sunlight passes directly through the temple’s entrance and illuminates the main deity — a masterpiece of ancient astronomical design. 🌞 Standing here, surrounded by silence and stone, you can almost feel the pulse of history — a thousand years of devotion, craftsmanship, and divine beauty carved into every inch. 🙏 This isn’t just a temple — it’s a living story of India’s forgotten heritage. Only a few know this hidden gem… 💬 Comment ‘📍’ if you want to visit this 1000-year-old wonder! #belvaditemple#veeranarayanaswamytemple#chikmagalurdiaries❤️ #belvadi
