Karnataka Travel

Karnataka is situated in the southern part of India, and spreads over the Deccan Plateau. At 300B.C., it had formed the southern tip of the Mauryan Empire. The three distinct regions are a narrow coastal area along Arabian Sea; high hills, the Western Ghats; & sprawling plains towards the east. The local language is Kannada and is renowned for classical Carnatic Music the world over. 

The richness in culture and traditional grandeur makes it one of the fastest growing states in terms of industries and facilities. Karnataka is also known as the Capital of Agarbathi (Incense Sticks), Arecanut, Silk, Coffee and Sandal Wood. 

The western strip across the Arabian sea is humid & warm in summer, water-soaked in monsoon, profuse with coconut grooves & paddy fields criss-crossed by strips of silvery streams & sparkling stretches of sand. In the hilly uplands of Malanad the bamboo flourishes wild & areca, teak, rosewood & matti are grown. Its forests are also the home of the stately gaur, langur, elephants, tiger. The torrential fall of rivers like Cauvrey, Sharavathi & Ghataprabha have been harnessed to generate hydroelectric power. 

The state capital Bangalore is par excellence with sophisticated electronic industries. It is the fastest growing Electronic city in Asia. It also leads the country in Aircraft building, telecommunication, aeronautics, machine manufacture, etc., 

The beauty of Karnataka captivates any one who sets eyes on her. It was the great Emperor Chandragupta Maurya who abdicated throne and traversed all the way from Magadha to distant Sravanabelagola to convert to Jainism and lay his remains in this land before entering the Kingdom of God. 

The course of Karnataka's history and culture takes us back to pre-historic times. The earliest pre-historic find of the Stone Age period in India was a hand axe at Lingasugur in Raichur district. The Ashoka's rock edicts found in the state indicates that major parts of the cultural and spiritual ethos of the land were lead by the Chalukyas, the Hoysalas and the mighty Vijayanagara Empire.
