Planning Toolkit

Summer

Summers can be hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 29°C to 39°C. The month of April is the hottest of the year. Because sightseeing in Belur entails a lot of walking, bring light cottons and wide-brimmed hats if you visit in the summer.

Monsoon

After the monsoon rains, the monuments appear fresh and clean. Moderate to heavy rainfall, on the other hand, may cause your travel plans and outdoor activities to be disrupted.

Winter

The mild, pleasant winter season is Belur's busiest tourist season. The temperature ranges from 22 to 31 degrees Celsius. The month of December is the coolest of the year.

Myth of Belur

It is believed that the lord sees his consort on a regular basis, the local cobbler community presents a new pair of sandals to the lord each day, which then vanishes by night.

The Gravity Pillar

The "foundationless" or "baseless" pillar is simply erected over a stone platform, and this towering monolithic granite column is representative of the VijayaNagara period builders' proficiency in architectural science. Even today, the stature and stability of this column perplexes tourists from all over the world. It is also known as "The Gravity Pillar" since it is supposed to stand on its own dead weight.

By Bus

On a Belur/ Halebid/ Shravanabelagola tourism tour, private tour buses and Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation buses offer a sightseeing package from Bengaluru and Mysore.

By Taxi

Alternatively, you might hire a taxi from Bengaluru or Mysore to show you about the city.
