Karnataka has been ruled over by some of the very prominent rulers over a number of years. They were great patrons of art and spent quite a deal of money in promoting artists. This can be seen in the beautiful artistic structures that have withstood the passage of time, weather and the onslaught of the rulers who reigned subsequently. In the present times, one can see the government as well as people trying their level best to maintain the structures if not put it back to their former glory. Such is the beauty of these structures that they cannot be replicated by anyone.
