PTC News Desk: Hoysala Empire temples in Karnataka have been inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
India is the 42nd site to be added to the list of world heritage. The development comes after Shantiniketan in West Bengal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Sunday (September 17).
The Hoysala Empire, which flourished between the 10th and 14th centuries in southern India, is well-known for its contributions to art, architecture, and culture.
