About Karnataka
Karnataka spans Hoysala-era stone-carved star-platform shrines (Belur, Halebidu, Somnathpur), Udupi Krishna (the Madhwa-Sampradaya seat), Mookambika at Kollur, and Dharmasthala — the largest free annadanam tradition in Bharat. Mallikarjuna at Srisailam is just across the border in Andhra.
