Elected representatives in Mandya are seeking an action plan for promoting lesser known tourist sites that are historically important and the sites that are attractive because of their location.
At the Tourism Committee meeting held in Mandya on Tuesday, MLA Ravikumar said Mandya has many ancient temples and the district is culturally and historically important with many monuments. Sri Ananthapadmanabha Temple at Hosa Budanur, and Sri Kashi Vishweshwara temple are among the ancient temples located in the district.
Arkeshwara Temple in Mandya, Thandaveshwara Temple at Holalu and temples in Budhanoor need to be developed to attract tourists. An action plan in this regard needs to be prepared for developing the sites for tourism promotion, he suggested.
