Tech-savvy Anubhava Mantapa expected to open in May, 2027, in Basavakalyan

The article details the upcoming Anubhava Mantapa monument in Basavakalyan, Bidar district, Karnataka, expected to open in May 2027. Conceived as a tribute to 12th-century philosopher Basaveshwara and the Sharana movement, it aims to recreate the spirit of the original 'spiritual and socio-philosophical Parliament'. The six-storeyed structure, crowned by a Shivalinga-shaped dome, will feature 770 columns engraved with Vachanas, digital classrooms, a Kayaka Museum, a robotics center, and a Parliament hall. It is designed around Ashtavarna principles and the six stages of spiritual evolution, blending history, philosophy, spirituality, and modern technology to promote Basaveshwara's egalitarian ideals and Kayaka philosophy.
