The Rosary Church at Shettihalli, near Hassan in Karnataka was built by French Missionaries in 1860. The village of Shettihalli had to be relocated due to the construction of the Hemavathy Reservoir but the Rosary Church got sumberged and this is what remains of the church. Strangely, the waters have depleted its structure but not the peace and serenity of the place.
