Karnataka Hassan Map

Elusively tagged as Called "Poor Man's Ooty", Hassan is a charmingly quaint town in the heart of Malnad.

According to a map of Hassan, the town is about 195 km from Bangalore.

Tourists in India are not going to miss Hassan, as this town is consigned as a portal to the famous archeological sites of Belur, Halebid and Shravanabelgola.

In spite of it all, Hassan has come into its own as a veritable tourist attraction.

Far and wide visitors come here for goods like the Hasanamba Shrine, a temple with an anthill symbolizing the deity Hasanamba.

Hassan’s District Museum meanwhile holds some of the finest sculptures, paintings, weapons, and coins.

Alternatively, there are places such as Hasanamba Shrine and Suddeshvara Temple.

Hassan erupts in revelry during the festival of Mahamastakabhisheka.

Held only once in every 12 years, the festival is when people anoint the giant statue of Bahubali with coconut oil and sandalwood.

Granted, Hassan has always been the springboard for excursions to places like Shravanabelgola.

Here the world's tallest monolithic statue stands high-flying adored.
