Vijayanagar Empire

The very last play to be written by the late Girish Karnad is staging its first set of shows in Bengaluru this week. "Crossing to Talikota" is set in the Vijayanagar empire of the 16th century and follows the fate of Aliya Ramaraya - in keeping with the late playwright's fascination with historical and mythological themes.

A zoological park named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is coming up at Kamlapur, near Hampi Kannada University in the district at a cost of Rs 34 crore.

Archaeological Survey of India has mooted a plan to conduct a thorough survey of Hampi, capital of the erstwhile Vijayanagar empire and an UNESCO world heritage site, to prevent waterlogging of the monuments during the monsoon.
