This temple, built in 1338 A.D., is unique in that it combines architectu.ral features of the Hoysala and the Dravidian schools. For instance, the outline of the Vimana and the presence of a Sukhanasi with a super structure are the chief Hoysala features, while the tiers in the Vimana and the formation of the pillars in the front mantapa are characteristically Dravidian. The five shrines in the temple, dedicated to Vidya Ganapathi, Mahisha Marcini, Brahma with Saraswati, Vishnu with Lakshmi and Maheshwara with Uma respectively, constitute a Panchayatana. This temple is conceived as a Srichakra and is Siva Saktyatmaka(ofthe form of Siva and Sakti, in union) and as such as said to represent all the tattvas from Siva and Sakti to Prithvi superimposed on the formless Brahman. Sringeri is the place where Shankaracharya the propounder of the Advaita philosophy established the pontificial seat of Sarada Peetha (also called Vyakyana Simhasana or Dharma Simhasana). This temple is said to be a symbol of integration of all forms of worship- Shaiva, Sakta, Vaishnava, Saura and Ganapatya. Though the ordinary observer finds innumerable sculptural forms ot animals and divine forms, to the initiate and the mystic, they have far deeper message for, it is held that meditation on any of these innumerable forms will lead him to Divine Realisation. The temple has a Mantapa having 12 monolithic pillars each of which is engraved with one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. These pillars are arranged in st:ch a manner taat the rays of the sun fall on them in the order of the solar months. The six door ways of the temple are flanked by Dvarapalakas and each one of these is said to represent an indriya (sense organ) including the mind. The temple has a number of bronze images of remarkable beauty and for a student of Hindu Iconography this is a veritable gallery and store-house of sculptures. PREFACE It has been the tradition of the Census of India to present demographic data in as detailed a manner as possible so as to serve effectively the Interests ot the users of census data. It has also been a tradition to publish special volumes which incorporate both demographic and non-cenSl:S data which are considered to be of great utility. In accordance with this practice, taluk and village tables used to be published which were, in the 1951 Censl'.s, replaced by the District CensLS Handbook series. These Handbooks replaced Part IV-Taluk Tables and Part V-Village Tables of the earlier censuses and presented a large number of tables of economic, demographic and social signif.cance for taluks and urban areas. The 1961 District Census Handbooks were improved by extending the cover age and administrative statistics were also presented for each district for the preceding decade. The 1971 Census continues, a<; part of its Tabulation Plan, the District Census Handbook series. The District Census Handbook is presented in three parts for each District. Part A incorporates the Town and Village Directories. Part B incorporates the Primary CensLS Abstracts and includes data, in the case of the rural areas, at the village level and in the case of urban areas at the block level. Part C incorporates other Census Tables and administrative statistics. For convenience, Parts A and B of the District Census Handbook are presented in one volume while Part C by itself IS a separate volume. Explanatory notes have been incorporated explaining the scope and content of the various statements, column headings, etc. In addition, in Part E, an introduction is included wherein the changes in the jurisdiction, if any, of the district or of the taluks and the changes in the number of villages between 1961 and 1971 are explained. It would be useful to read these notes before one goes to the tables. In this volume, the district and taluk maps have been incorporated. These maps have b;:en prepared in this office on the basis of maps obtained from the competent adhorities concerned. In the district map, to avoid crowding, the names of villages where community facilities exist have not been mentioned but their location code numbers have been indicated. Similarly, in the taluk maps, villages are indicated by their Location Code numbers. For the names of the villages, one would have to refer to the alphabetical list of villages of each of the taluks concerned. These alphabetical lists are incorporated in Parts A and B of this volume. In the preparation of Part A of the District Census Handbook we have l!ad the ready and full co-operation of all the Departments of the State Government. Our wh.oJe-he~~ted-tb.i~s-a.q) tendered to th~iU gratefully. Part B is essentially demographic in nature and lia"s been the end p!oduct of the tabulation of the enumeration results. In the preparation of this vloume we have had the benefit of the guidance and advice of Sri A. Chandra Sekbar, LA.S., Registrar General and Census Commissioner for In dia. We have a]<;o been considerably assisted by the willing co-operation of Sri K. D. Ballal, D'eputy Registrar General, Dr. B. K.. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Sri :K.. K. Chakravorty, \ssistant Registrar General. We are deeply indebted to them for all the assistance rendered. IV The District Census Handbook (Parts A and B) presented in this volume is among the" first few of the 1971 Census publications. Its early preparation bas laid a heavy burden on all the officers and staff of this office. To each one of them I am deeply obliged. The Director of Printing and Stationery of the State Government has ensured printing in time and to him we offer our thanks. This is a State Government Publication and the interest evinced by the State Government has ellcotlraged us, for which our thanks are tendered. February, 1974 P.
