Keladi Temple


Keladi is approx of 6-7 km from Sagara. On Soraba road one need to take a diversion to reach Keladi. Am not sure of bus frequency as I went by an auto which cost around 100 for a round trip. Also I did not see any bus on my either way. Keladi was capital of Keladi Nayakas. Here one can find temples of Veerabhadra, Rameshwara and Parvathi. These are built in combination of Hoysala and Dravidian style. There is also a well maintained Keladi Museum, which has a collection of copper inscriptions, palm leaves and coins from Nayaka's period. When I had been to this place in Jan 2010 the museum was closed for renovation. Apart from this it also has a very old chariot in a very fragile condition.
