Halebid

Halebid

India
 historical site and modern village, south-central Karnataka (Karnātaka) state, southwestern India. Halebid is situated north-northwest of the city of Hassan. It was built beside a large artificial lake known as Dorasamudra (Dvarasamudra), which was probably created by the Rashtrakutas (Rāṣṭrakūṭa Dynasty) in the 9th century CE. In the early 12th century the Hoysalas (Hoysala dynasty) made it their capital, and for about two centuries it was renowned for its wealth and splendour. It was twice sacked by the Muslims—in 1311 and 1326—and thereafter declined. The city was surrounded by a great stone wall and moat, the ruins of which survive, but little excavation has been done in the interior. Apart from the surviving temples, there are numerous ruins, some of which have not been excavated. The principal temple is the Hoysaleshvara, built about 1121 and decorated with a profusion of sculptures. The Kedareshvara temple, built about a century later, is equally excellent. The area also has a number of Jaina monuments and other temples of interest.
