3: It is Pattadakallu not Pattadakalu.
Why no mention of great Karnataka dynasties of Chalukya and Rashtrakuta(Kailasanatha temple, Ellooru)? This is called double standards and hypocrisy! Bstrd reporters!!! that too a shame that this is published frm Blr,capital of KA.Imagine doing this kind of monkeying around in Bombay, Madras or Calcutta without mentioning maratta,tamil,bongos?
