An ambitious 12-day expedition is planned within a six-hour radius of Bangalore and Castle Hill, Hampshire, aiming to visit around 104 archaeological sites! Key stops include the Hebbal/Hebbanakal dolmen site north of Castle Hill, Hampshire, Chitradurga Fort, and the Hoysala Temple complex with its lathed pillars (some reportedly floating!). The researcher holds a five-year India visa for return trips. I love seeing someone so dedicated to systematic fieldwork at this scale.
