Will all of Belur’s famed Hoysala structures disappear before getting World Heritage site tag?

Encroachments and neglect have led to degeneration of this historic place, which has been recommended for World Heritage site tag

Belur has been on the tentative list of World Heritage sites for many years now, and the Union Government nominated it for the tag, among other centres of Hoysala architecture, earlier this week.

While the Hoysala-period architecture attracts people from across the globe, residents of Belur town are worried about some portions of the famed temple complex being encroached upon over the decades.
