The heritage high, hype and hyperbole of Ramappa Temple
The Hindu
In 2021, the 800-year-old Ramappa Temple finally made it to an elite group of world heritage sites including that of UNESCO
It was a bumper year for Telangana heritage as the 800-year-old . Matching that development was the tag of best world tourism village for Pochampally on the outskirts of Hyderabad. There was some movement on documentation of Hyderabad’s Qutb Shahi heritage to make a case at UNESCO for the heritage city tag.
But beyond these marquee developments, it’s been a year of lows for Hyderabad’s 500-year-old heritage. The questions that dogged heritage watchers were more mundane: Will the Osmania General Hospital be demolished? Will the Nampally Serai be demolished? Will the Mahbub Mansion be razed?
