One State Many Worlds
Karnataka lies at the intersection of North and South Indian cultures. It is a state of immense spiritual diversity, housing the Jain colossus at Shravanabelagola, the Tibetan settlements in Bylakuppe, the Sufi shrines of Gulbarga, and the Virashaiva (Lingayat) tradition. The landscape ranges from the ruins of empires to coffee plantations, offering a backdrop for seekers who want history mixed with devotion.
A hub for Dwaita philosophy (Udupi) and ancient Shiva worship. It is also the birthplace of Hanuman (Kishkindha/Hampi).
