Justice Ghose praised the ancient Ramappa temple for its architecture and spent time examining the sculptures. He said that a large number of enthusiasts and tourists had started thronging the Ramappa temple after it got the Unesco world heritage site tag in July 2021. “It has got global recognition and is grabbing the attention of international tourists and heritage lovers,” he said.
He believed that there is a lot of potential for the development of the temple if infrastructure like better roads, rest rooms and other basic important facilities are provided at the temple surroundings which are lacking at present.
