A research centre dedicated to the classical Kannada language, literature, and architecture was inaugurated at the Heritage House in the city on Sunday.
Named Karnata, the new centre will also serve as the organisation’s headquarters and academic hub with the support of Indian Heritage Cities Network Foundation (IHCN).
Described as a significant cultural initiative, Karnata seeks to creatively nurture and make accessible the vast heritage of one of the most prolific literary and material cultures of the world, with a history stretching over 1500 years, according to a release.
