BENGALURU: Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday directed officials to revive the plan of the proposed Anubhava Mantapa at Basavakalyan, an important pilgrimage centre for the dominant Lingayat community in Bidar district.
He asked them to improvise it with digital libraries and bigger auditoriums to give a first-hand experience to the younger generation about the functioning of the ‘first religious parliament’ . The CM held meetings with officials to oversee the progress which are related to immortalising the works of historic figures, including social reformer Basaveshwara and warrior Sangolli Rayanna.
An official statement said Anubhava Mantapa is coming up in an area of 101 acres. Philanthropists have donated 11.2 acres of land and the remaining 69 acres will be acquired from farmers.
