Yet
another colourful feather that it displays is, its immense rare
sculptural wealth, that evokes envy even in the celestial denizens
too. By its profusion, variety, novelty and continuity, it is hailed
as the cradle of stone architecture that surpassed the unsurpassable
specimens the world has produced so far. The architectural sculpture
of Belur, Halebid and Hampi, sweetest poems in black stone are the
products of the golden era of Indian architecture throwing an
eternal challenge to the sculptors of any land. And the deities
enshrined therein representing a wide variety of every 'ISM' extant
seem turned mute unable to eulogise the glory of the master
sculptors - their own adorers. The relics left by Muslim rulers do
not lag behind. They are inimitable. Incidentally, they mirror the
commendable religious amity, the land enjoyed in the bygone hoary
past. The beauteous Nature besides being bounteous in giving asylum
to a multiplicity of beasts and birds that stroll about in
sancturies and across the country are affording thrills and chills
to the wayfarers apart from supplying abundant forest wealth, like
teak wood, bamboo. How about the rulers of kingdoms and Pithas? The
illustrious royal dynasties and eminent Jagadgurus who ruled
admirably had left behind monumental achievements in every realm of
human action for centuries to emulate and profit by.
