Overview

Hassan is the 4th largest city in Karnataka and situated in the southern part of the state. Located around 194 Km from the capital city of Bangalore, the city is the district headquarters of Hassan District. The name Hassan comes from the name of the presiding deity Goddess Haasanamba. Founded back in 11th century by Channa Krishnappa Naik, Hassan has a very bleak history. It was under the rule of Hoysala dynasty from 11th century till 13th century. It was during this period that the splendid temples of Halebid and Belur were built. Hassan turns out to be a great spot from where to start for places like Shravanabelagola, Belur and Halebid. You will notice a strong influence of Jainism in the city, which is because many of its early rulers were of Jain faith. Shravanabelagola is the most prominent Jain centers of all. Hassan is an important city also because it serves as a home to the main control facility of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization).
