Tungabhadra Holy Waters

The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the river's geography and historical context, then moves into its religious significance, and concludes with its historical impact on empires like the Vijayanagara Empire, whose capital Hampi thrived on its banks. By drawing upon religious texts, historical chronicles, and archaeological findings, the book offers a holistic view, integrating historical, religious, and ecological perspectives, advocating for the river's preservation as a vital component of India's cultural heritage and addressing the pressing need for environmental conservation.
