Karnataka, known as "the priceless gift of indulgent nature", is a unique blend of a glorious past and a rich present. It is the land of silk and sandal, of coffee and cardamom, of the 17m statue of Jain Saint Gomateshwara and of the enchancing sculptural wealth of Belur and Halebid of the historical ruins of Hampi and monuments of Bijapur, Badami, Aihole and Pattadkal. It is the only state in India where gold is found.
