Karnataka, a trail blazer in art of sculpting, says Veeranna

Shilpakala Academy Chairman Veeranna M. Arkasali said on Sunday, January 1, that Karnataka has made immense contributions to the country’s sculptural heritage and was a trailblazer in the field. Mr Veeranna said Jakanachari was a historical person who came to prominence during the rule of the Hoysalas but historians and scholars should unearth more details about the legendary sculptor-architect who is credited with building many temples.
