PLACES TO VISIT

One can visit the Sri Torana Ganapati Temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha who is worshipped in the form of Vara Prasadi and Kshipra Prasadi. The locals here believe that Sri Narasimha Bharati  IV established the idol of Lord Ganesha here. Another tale that goes around here is that the Acharya here who was contemplating on resolving an issue had a vision of the Ganapati. He then later offered his prayer by offering a dhurwa to the image of Lord Ganapati which was carved on the Torana of a nearby door and his problem got solved immediately. From that time this Ganapati is worshipped as the Torana Ganapati.The architecture here is also  quite mesmerizing.

The Sringeri Mutt is one of the sacred Hindu temples near the coffee museum. Sringeri was the site that was established by the great sage Adi Shankaracharya who was the founder of the Advaita philosophy and it also the first of the four Peethas. Situated at this place is the Sharadamba Temple which is dedicated to Goddess Sharadamba who is considered to be the Goddess of learning and wisdom. There is a golden idol of the Goddess here which was earlier made of sandalwood.

The VidyaShankara Temple was built approximately  in the 14th century.  It is made entirely of stone and is a mixture of Hoysala and Dravidian style architecture and is an interesting place to visit. The Kudremukh National Park is another place that one can visit. It is declared as a UNESCO world heritage site. One can undertake many activities here like trekking,hiking and even river crossing and also get to see a variety of animals here.

The Ballalarayana Durga Fort is one of the few forts that can be found in the Western Ghats.One can only reach this fort through trekking. This fort was constructed by the wife of Veer Ballala I  who was the King of the Hoysala Empire. This fort was built in the Karnata Dravida architectural style which was popular at the time of Hoysala rule.An ancient Kalabyraveshwara temple is situated right below the fort and it is believed that Ballala I and his wife used to visit the temple everyday. However now one just gets to see remains of the fort as it was not preserved properly.

Thus, the Coffee Museum is a must visit place for all the coffee lovers .
