Somewhere in Hampi....


North Karnataka continued to be battered by rain. With 31 of the 33 crest gates of Tungabhadra dam having been opened, many heritage sites, including the Purandara Mantapa , Saalu Mantapa and Rama-Lakshmana Temple in Hampi, have gone under water. Tungabhadra dam is the lifeline for the people of Bellary, Raichur and Koppal districts for both drinking and agricultural purposes.
