Detailed Overview
- Shivasamudra waterfalls are the second-biggest waterfall in India and a sight to behold. The Shivanasamudra Falls are actually twin falls, Gaganachukki and Bharachukki, one km away from each other.
- Talakadu, also was known as the ‘city of lost temples', is a small deserted hamlet on the banks of Kaveri River. Talakadu once had over 30 temples, most of which are now buried in the sand. There are now 5 temples at Talkadu that have been unearthed; the Vaidyanatheshwara temple is the most famous of them.
- Visit Somnathpur, home to the 13th-century Hoysala Chennakesava Temple, also known as a Keshava Temple. The temple is built on a star-shaped platform and has three carved pinnacles and shrines. The temple is dedicated to Lord Janardhana, Venugopala, and Kesava.
- Somnathpur is a great place for sandalwood oil, incense sticks, and other handicrafts. There are many local artisans that are involved in the production of teak, rosewood and sandalwood carvings. Somnathpur is also renowned for Mysore-style painting of Indian Gods.
