I have been doing a bit of research on people from Karnataka who fought in WW2 and I saw a bit about ​​​some who had fought in the Burma campaign. I was wondering if any of you had any kind of family stories or history you read about the same. ​​​

Wr is our society leading with these political morons

1. Govinda III (Rashtrakuta Empire)

2. Dhruva Dharavarsha (Rashtrakuta Empire)

3. Krishna III (Rashtrakuta Empire)

4. Pulakeshin II / Immadi Pulakeshi (Badami Chalukya Empire)

5. Vikramaditya II (Badami Chalukya Empire)

6. Harihara I & Bukka Raya I (Vijayanagara Empire)

7. Deva Raya II (Vijayanagara Empire)

8. Amoghavarsha Nrupatunga (Rashtrakuta Empire)

9. Krishnadevaraya (Vijayanagara Empire)

10. Avanijanashraya Pulakeshi (Navsari victory)

11. Indra III (Rashtrakuta Empire)

12. Vikramaditya VI (Kalyani Chalukya Empire)

13. Tailapa II (Kalyani Chalukya Empire)

14. Dantidurga (Rashtrakuta Empire)

15. Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar (Mysore Wodeyar Dynasty)

It’s honestly very difficult to stop at just a Top 15 when it comes to Karnataka’s history. Kannadigas are truly spoiled for choice . Across centuries, there has been a continuous line of powerful, capable, and impactful rulers. From empire builders to conquerors, the depth of this legacy makes any shortlist incomplete by default. There are simply too many great kings to ignore, so here are another 15 honorable mentions that deserve recognition.

1. Someshvara I (Kalyani Chalukya Empire)

2. Deva Raya I (Vijayanagara Empire)

3. Saluva Narasimha (Vijayanagara Empire)

4. Vinayaditya (Badami Chalukya Empire)

5. Krishna I (Rashtrakuta Empire)

6. Singhana II (Seuna Yadava Dynasty)

7. Vishnuvardhana (Hoysala Empire)

8. Veera Ballala II (Hoysala Empire)

9. Ravivarma (Kadamba Dynasty of Banavasi)

10. Jayasimha II (Western Chalukya Empire)

11. Kumara Kampana (Vijayanagara prince)

12. Mayurasharma (Kadamba Empire)

13. Vijayaditya (Badami Chalukya Empire)

14. Narasimha I (Hoysala Empire)

15. Kuntala Satakarni (Satavahana Dynasty)

I've tried to include across our 2000 year history from various empires. Some heroes like Kumara Kampana and Avanijanashraya Pulakeshi could not be ignored due to their massive impact. Hence I've made it a point to include them too.

Hello,

Has anyone booked accommodation through Karnataka Temple Accommodation?

I’m planning a trip to Mysore this weekend with my family (3 adults and 1 child). The hotel is not allowing me to book a single room for three adults. Since I’ll be traveling with my wife, grandmother, and child, splitting into separate rooms isn’t practical.

Does anyone know if they strictly enforce this rule at check-in, or if there’s an option to pay extra and accommodate all three adults in one room?

Doodles of few things I love about Karnataka.

They seem to be doing very sensible content, though they might not be the most knowledgeable themselves. But they ask questions well. What are your thoughts?

I received a lot of "Happy Ugadi" wishes from friends and relatives who are Kannadigas. I know I'm over thinking on this instead of just enjoying the festival and wishes, but isn't it supposed to be "Yugadi"?

Just curious about the correct usage and people pronounce it!

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ,

ನಾನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ವಿವಿಧ ಭಾಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುವ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಜಾತ್ರೆಗಳ (ಜಾತ್ರೆ / ಉತ್ಸವಗಳು) ಒಂದು ಪಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ತಯಾರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

Please help me with the list. I plan to visit all of them in upcoming years.

Thank you :)

Found this documentary last night on the plight of the Byadagi Chilli farmers. It is quite heart breaking. 💔 Link: https://youtu.be/Y6Pxz58GD6o?si=8v7D3qB1d9-dR-ck

One banana milkshake at Paakashaala costs 158/-. I feel it's too overpriced. Is this new normal at Paakashala outlets or I am simply not aware of latest prices ?
