Hasta Shilpa Heritage Village

The Manipal Heritage Village is an internationally recognized heritage site. Vijayanath Shenoy built Hasta Shilpa as a passionate project in the 1970s and 1980s to preserve culture and heritage through the senseless modernization of the world. "To see the things that connect us to our culture - music, art, dance, artifacts - we need to visit a theater, an art gallery or a museum. The incorporation of this into our architecture forces us to live again; see it when we want. "- Vijayanath Shenoy
