Mysuru: The Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage has embarked on a survey to map and document nearly 25,000 historical structures in Karnataka to update the list of protected monuments. As of now, the list has only 844 structures with many historically important monuments missing out.
The exercise will cover Temples, forts, Dargahs, Mosques, palaces, heritage buildings, archaeological sites and inscriptions, Kalyanis, tombs and towers of considerable architectural merit. The initiative that is likely to give fillip to research and tourism, has begun in Varuna.
