Mattur has a Rama Mandira, a Shivalaya, Someshwara temple and Lakshmikeshava temple.
Mattur's twin village,
Hosahalli, shares almost all the qualities of Mattur. Hosahalli is situated across the bank of River Tunga. These two villages are almost always referred to together.[SUP]

Mattur and
Hosahalli are known for their efforts to support
Gamaka art, which is a unique form of singing and
storytelling in Karnataka. This is one of some of the rarest villages in India where
Sanskrit is spoken as regional language. Here more than 90% of the population of this village knows
Sanskrit.
