Archeological Survey of India initiates detailed study, to carry out repairs after monsoon
The historic Gol Gumbaz in Vijayapura, considered the ‘Taj of the south’, has suffered minor damage following heavy rains in the district in north Karnataka. A small portion of the support bracket, also called the chajja or cornice, on the eastern side broke off from the structure last week. The bricks were shattered after falling from a height of around 90 feet. No one was injured as the area is out of bounds for the general public, and there was no one in the vicinity during the incident.More Related News
