ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-I (Art and Culture) and Karnataka heritage: Hampi's Vijayanagara architecture is a staple of Indian heritage questions. The issue is conserving a living, large-scale archaeological landscape under the 1972 World Heritage Convention and Indian law (ASI, AMASR Act), balancing tourism, local settlements and development. The way forward is a robust site management plan, buffer-zone regulation, community participation and regular monitoring.
