ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS1 (Indian Heritage and Culture; Karnataka History and Culture): the Vachana movement was a 12th-century social reform movement against caste and ritualism. The Anubhava Mantapa gave it an institutional form as a forum for open debate. A modern Mantapa with a museum and research centre can preserve this heritage and promote its egalitarian message, provided it stays academically rigorous and avoids turning into only a tourism project.
