The Holy Rosary Church, located in a village of Shettihalli, few kms off Hasan town was a scenic place to be.
If you come post monsoon, the church would be in a submerged state, as it is located in the region of Hemavathy Reservoir. I was totally unaware of this place and Lakshmi Sharath briefed me on its history as follows: “The Holy Rosary church of Shetty Halli was built in 1860s by the Fresh Missionaries but later, when the Hemavati dam was to be built, the entire village had to evacuate. People moved on with their belongings, leaving behind the church”
Because we went in late Summer, water levels w ere pretty low. If we return post monsoon, pay be October, the dam would be full of water and the church will be submerged almost fully.
The Shetti Halli Holy Rosary church is in a highly deteriorated state, with its ceilings, windows and most of the structural elements gone. Only few walls and a tower remain, to tell the story… However, with green grass and thick clouds, Holy Rosary church of Shettihalli offered a highly scenic view. The waterbody (hemavathy river) also meant we got to see lot of birds. A bridge passes nearby, which I’m told is a road that will eventually connect to Mysore.
Goruru village, village that was birth place of writer Gorur Ramaswamy Iyyengar (Who’s written several books including the popular “Americadalli Goruru” (Kannada) is also believed to be very close
