  • Chapter 17 Places of Interest.Pdf
    782 Dharwad District CHAPTER 17 PLACES OF INTEREST he district of Dharwad, a plateau situated 2,500 ft. above the mean sea level, forming part T of the extended curvilinear valleys of the western Ghats, has paved the way for the community living of the people in the district right from early times, due to its mountain ranges covered with natural forest, river valleys and vast plain lands. The district has innumerable places where architectural remnants of the Shatavahana, the Badami Chalukya, the Rashtrakuta, and the Kalyana Chalukya period, still exists. Besides the religious centres, one can see holy places where saints and sages lived, spots of natural beauty; towns of commercial and cultural importance; while few are significant as pre- historic centres, several others are important due to the political events of historic importance that occured therein. The river valleys, and places like Bankapur, Abalur, Galaganath, Chaudadanapur, Lakshmeswar, Lakkundi, Gadag, Kalkeri, Tilavalli, Rattihalli, Dambal, Hangal, Yalavatti, and many more may be mentioned of. In this chapter an endeavour is made to introduce to the reader not only the well- known places, but also those which have remained largely either out of reach or unfamiliar to the people. When viewed in the light of the rich archaeological background of the district, our survey can hardly be regarded as adequate. The architectural and sculptural remains in the District are quite rich and varied and hence the aim of this chapter is to introduce them concisely. (but, in a work of this kind only a concise account can be given). Likewise, places of enchanting natural beauty have also been included.

They were preceded by riots in Ramanagaram, known as the Silk town of the state, 50 kms away from Bangalore on September 2, 1990. Tension has been stoked in this town by the Ganesh festivities followed by Ramjyothi processions. These riots had lead to the death of 7 persons, scores were injured and properties worth lakhs lost. A team that consisted of Prof. Basheer Hussain and Prof. Hasan Mansur had visited this town on September 11, 1990. They listened to the accounts of riots given by members of Hindu and Muslim communities and the version of the police and went round the town to see places subject to vandalism. From there, they proceeded to Channapatna, thirteen kms away and talked to some people there who felt the tension of the riots in Ramanagaram but were assuring themselves there would be no fall-out in their own town. There was a clash in Malebennur in Chitradurga district on September 27, Kanakagiri in Gangavathi Taluk of Raichur district and Bijapur witnessed clashes on September 28, with the advent of the Ramjyothi processions.

The interim campus of IIT Dharwad is located just a few meters away from this highway. The WALMI (Water And Land Management Institute) campus of IIT Dharwad is fully equipped with class rooms, laboratories, modern hostel buildings. This campus is expected to serve the needs of IIT Dharwad for the first couple of years. The 560 acre new IIT Dharwad campus is expected to come up in a couple of years and is located two kilometers away from the Pune-Bangaluru National Highway (NH4). Mentored by IIT Bombay, the academic activities of IIT Dharwad are well tuned to bring out the best in every student. The Institute offers three undergraduate (B. Tech.) programs in engineering.
