Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report
Karnataka Tourism Vision group 2014 report KARNATAKA TOURISM VISION GROUP (KTVG) Recommendations to the GoK: Jan 2014 Task force KTVG Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report 1 FOREWORD Tourism matters. As highlighted in the UN WTO 2013 report, Tourism can account for 9% of GDP (direct, indirect and induced), 1 in 11 jobs and 6% of world exports. We are all aware of amazing tourist experiences globally and the impact of the sector on the economy of countries. Karnataka needs to think big, think like a Nation-State if it is to forge ahead to realise its immense tourism potential. The State is blessed with natural and historical advantage, which coupled with a strong arts and culture ethos, can be leveraged to great advantage. If Karnataka can get its Tourism strategy (and brand promise) right and focus on promotion and excellence in providing a wholesome tourist experience, we believe that it can be among the best destinations in the world. The impact on job creation (we estimate 4.3 million over the next decade) and economic gain (Rs. 85,000 crores) is reason enough for us to pay serious attention to focus on the Tourism sector. The Government of Karnataka had set up a Tourism Vision group in Oct 2013 consisting of eminent citizens and domain specialists to advise the government on the way ahead for the Tourism sector. In this exercise, we had active cooperation from the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Mr. R.V. Deshpande; Tourism Secretary, Mr. Arvind Jadhav; Tourism Director, Ms. Satyavathi and their team. The Vision group of over 50 individuals met jointly in over 7 sessions during Oct-Dec 2013.

Linguistic Ecology of Karnataka (A State in the Union of India)
================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:7 July 2019 ================================================================ Linguistic Ecology of Karnataka (A State in the Union of India) Prof. B. Mallikarjun Former Director Centre for Classical Kannada Central University of Karnataka Kadaganchi, Aland Road, Kalaburagi District - 585311. KARNATAKA, INDIA [email protected] ================================================================= Introduction First let us look at two concepts. Landscape is ‘all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.’ Ecology ‘is the relationships between the air, land, water, animals, plants etc., usually of a particular area, or the scientific study of this.’ It takes hundred or thousand or more years to bring changes in the grammatical structure of a language. Even after that time the change may remain incomplete. This refers to the internal changes in a language. But the economic, social and political and policy decisions in a country do not need more time to modify the linguistic demography. This reflects the external changes relating to a language. India became independent in 1947, conducted its first census after independence in 1951. It reorganised its administrative units on linguistic lines in 1956 and conducted the first census after reorganisation in 1961. The census data of 2011 helps us to understand the changes that have taken place in fifty years since 1971. This paper explores the linguistic demography of Karnataka, one of the states in India in terms of its landscape and ecology using the census data of 50 years from 1971 to 2011. Karnataka Karnataka is one of the states and union territories in southern part of India.

River , God or Goddess, Saint For Example – Kashi is a very important Shrine (Kshetra) because the Holy River Ganges flows from North, Holy Shrines of Lord Vishwanath Jyotirlinga & Mother Goddess Vishalakshi and the fact that thousands of holy saints have made Kashi their abode since ages. If you think on these lines and going by these standards, Ganagapuram is the greatest Kshetra, for the following reasons – • In Ganagapuram – we can see the confluence of five holy rivers, the Saraswati, Shiva, Bhadra, Kumbhi and Bhogavathi • Here, River Bhima flows from the North • We also find River Amaraja – which confluences with River Bhima • Lord Shiva is enshrined here in the form of Lord Kalleswara Linga, close by we also find shrines of Amareswara Lokapani deity • Sri Sri Nrusimha Saraswati, who is incarnation of Lord Dattatreya has spent most part of his life in this Kshetra • Not only this, Sri Nrusimha Saraswati spotted a Peepal tree with divine powers & built ashram near this holy tree History This incident dates back to 15th Century A.D.

The Evolution of the Temple Plan in Karnataka with Respect to Contemporaneous Religious and Political Factors
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 7, Ver. 1 (July. 2017) PP 44-53 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Evolution of the Temple Plan in Karnataka with respect to Contemporaneous Religious and Political Factors Shilpa Sharma 1, Shireesh Deshpande 2 1(Associate Professor, IES College of Architecture, Mumbai University, India) 2(Professor Emeritus, RTMNU University, Nagpur, India) Abstract : This study explores the evolution of the plan of the Hindu temples in Karnatak, from a single-celled shrine in the 6th century to an elaborate walled complex in the 16th. In addition to the physical factors of the material and method of construction used, the changes in the temple architecture were closely linked to contemporary religious beliefs, rituals of worship and the patronage extended by the ruling dynasties. This paper examines the correspondence between these factors and the changes in the temple plan. Keywords: Hindu temples, Karnataka, evolution, temple plan, contemporary beliefs, religious, political I. INTRODUCTION 1. Background The purpose of the Hindu temple is shown by its form. (Kramrisch, 1996, p. vii) The architecture of any region is born out of various factors, both tangible and intangible. The tangible factors can be studied through the material used and the methods of construction used. The other factors which contribute to the temple architecture are the ways in which people perceive it and use it, to fulfil the contemporary prescribed rituals of worship. The religious purpose of temples has been discussed by several authors. Geva [1] explains that a temple is the place which represents the meeting of the divine and earthly realms.

Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage
Sustaining Landscapes of Cultural Heritage: The Case of Hampi, India Final Report to The Global Heritage Fund Produced by Morgan Campbell 2012 Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage This report is the result of the Global Heritage Fund’s 2011 Preservation Fellowship Program. Research was undertaken by Morgan Campbell, a PhD student of Urban Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, during the summer of 2012. Global Heritage Fund Morgan Campbell 625 Emerson Street 200 [email protected] Palo Alto, CA 94301 www.globalheritagefund.org Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage ii Dedication I am incredibly grateful to numerous people for a variety of reasons. My time in Hampi during the summer of 2012 was one of the most significant experiences in my life. First, I dedicate this work to the Global Heritage Fund for providing me with the support to pursue questions of participatory planning in Hampi’s World Heritage Area. I thank James Hooper, whose earlier research in Hampi provided me with a good foundation and Dan Thompson who was incredibly understanding and supportive. Second, I’m deeply indebted to Shama Pawar of The Kishkindra Trust in Anegundi. Easily one of the most dynamic people I’ve ever met, without her assistance—which came in the form of conversations, tangible resources, and informal mentoring—I would have never been able to undergo this research project. It was because of Shama that I was able to experience and learn from Hampi’s living heritage. This report is about people, people who live in a heritage landscape. The residents of Hampi’s World Heritage Area are spread across time and space, so that when I say residents, I am referring to those living in the present and those who have lived in the past.

Shimoga -> Jog -> Talaguppa -> Honnemaradu
Below was our plan Saturday(9/10/11) Shimoga -> Jog -> Talaguppa -> Honnemaradu -> Talaguppa -> Gokarana (Stay at Gokarana) Sunday(9/11/11) Gokarana -> Srisi -> Yana -> Sirsi -> Udupi(stay at Udupi) Monday(9/12/11) Udupi -> Someshwara(water sports) -> Agumbe -> Sakrebailu -> Mandagagge(Bird sanctuary) -> Gajanur(Tunga Dam) -> Shimoga(head back to Bangalore) We(I and Wife(Veena) started from our respective offices at 2.30 PM on friday. Veena took her office bus to station directly whereas I took a BMTC volvo. We met at station around 3.30 PM. Platform #9 and found the train and our seats. After making my big backpack cozy on the luggage rack, we headed out to the platform to have some snacks(lays :)) and hot tea(Veena was having head ache:(). Train left Bangalore at 4.30 PM. The train coaches were newly installed with TV sets, but the volume on the speaker was too low or was the gang of people around us increasing the decibel level?. Either way, the tv was playing local Kannada songs and we were least interested(Venki would have enjoyed am sure ;-)). The journey was a long 5.30 hours and we could keep up our energy only because of the excitement about the whole trip thing. Reached Shimoga at 10 pm, took an auto to Durga lodge. Thanks to Shreyas(my friend and colleague), he had booked a room for us. Had dinner(chapati oota) at a mess next to Durga lodge. The room was pretty big and Veena was stunned at the rent(400 Rs per day, someone find me a hut in Bangalore please!).
