[edit] Lakshmi Narasinha Statue

I have added information that is based on an Archeological department signboard outside the statue.59.92.135.153 (User Prksh1) 17:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "georef added"...

I've put in a link to the GoogleEarth location of Vijayanagara: very tough finding the place on any map, even for folks familiar with the history -- this link connects directly to the map, moreover, if the software is installed locally, whereas other georef links connect to confusing "explanatory pages" or get messed up in user security software and downloading problems.

The GoogleEarth software now is a free download to any user, Apple/Mac or Wintel -- from earth.google.com -- so I personally believe it's the most politically-correct GIS to use for this purpose, at the moment anyway. It's also wildly-exciting, to be able to hop around southern India virtually-visiting all the "sights", online...

[edit] Putting the Telugu Script

I understand that Vijaynagar is situated in modern Karnataka. However, akin to the Krishnadevaraya article, the Telugu script for Vijaynagar should be put after the Kannada one in the introduction.

No, the place is in Karnataka, so the language should be limited to the one language of the region. Otherwise we could go on forever including every relevant language - e.g. Persian/Hindustani/Urdu, since Muslims probably speaking one of these languages conquered it at at least one time. For the Vijayanagara Empire article however (and to figures such as Krishnadevaraya), both Kannada and Telugu are appropriate. Imc 14:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
