General199439 sections5 chapters

The Kudala Sangama Development Board Act, 1994 establishes a dedicated development board to manage, preserve, and upgrade the Kudala Sangama Kshetra in Karnataka into an international pilgrimage, cultural, and tourist center. It transfers the control of historic sites, including the Shree Sangamanatha Temple and Lord Shree Basaveshwara Aikya Mantapa, from traditional management to the state-backed board. The Act applies to government officials, local residents, tourists, and religious institutions operating within the designated Kshetra region. This legislation matters because it provides structured funding, infrastructure development, and centralized administration to protect culturally significant monuments while actively promoting the philosophical teachings of Lord Basaveshwara.
