Mysuru: The publicity committee of the Kannada Sahitya Sammelana has urged the district Kannada Sahitya Parishat to renovate the tomb of Basavappa Shastry, court poet of Mysuru Maharaja Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar.The tomb abuts the LIC office building in Bannimantap. It was supposed to be spruced up ahead of the literary meet, but the organizers failed to take up the work. Initially, we intended to renovate the tomb ahead of the Sammelana. Basavappa was well versed in Sanskrit, Kannada, music, and philosophy. Since the tender procedure takes a lot of time owing to time constraints, we were unable to take up the project.
