Mysuru: The District Kannada Sahitya Parishat (KSP) and Samvahana Prakashana had organised a function at Rotary Hall on JLB Road here on Sunday to release the book ‘Krishnarajanagara talukina grama devathegalu: Samskrutika adhyayana’, a research volume written by K.R. Nagar First Grade College Assistant Professor Dr. H.R. Chandrakala Ashok.
Releasing the book, Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh said that in the interest of tourism, historic temples and their vicinity would be developed. He contended that ancient temples have a lot of history to convey and regretted that people were constructing temples indiscriminately at parks and by the road side without any sanctity. He hence stressed the need to develop ancient and historic temples in Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan, Chamarajanagar, Kodagu and other districts.
