Pattadakal
Few monuments in Karnataka can boast of being included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. There are only two of them — the ruins of Vijayanagar and the temples of Pattadakala. Pattadakal has a rich past — at the beginning of the 7th century, it took over from Aihole and became the capital of the young and powerful Chalukya kingdom.
Hampi
Hampi is a set of buildings headed by the Virupakshi temple. This is a pretty famous place that is mentioned in the Ramayana. This work tells about the events that took place in Hampi. Why come here? To see sculptures, temples, statues representing the history of India at its best. This is a pretty significant piece of the country’s history.
Temples of Gokarna
Gokarna is one of the most important cities for any Hindu, because it is believed that it was here that Shiva appeared from the ear of the ancient Indian goddess of the Earth — Prithivi, who took the form of a cow. Go karna translates from Hindi as “cow’s ear”.
Aihole
The southwestern state of India, Karnataka, is deservedly known for its numerous Hindu attractions, and most of the most interesting religious monuments in India are located here. But only one city can boast an extensive collection of mandirs.
Little Tibet
Little Tibet in the Indian state of Karnataka was built with donations in 1959-1963, after the Communist government of red China annexed the territories of Tibet through military invasion. Excursions are held here especially for tourists, during which you can visit temples on the territory of monasteries.
