Udyavara is an ancient port town located 5 km south of Udupi in the Indian state of Karnataka. Udyavara is gradually becoming a Udupi suburb. National Highway 17, now (NH 66 ), passes through the village. The river Udyavar flows from east to west and turns norther to separate Udyavara and Malpe. The river hosts several islets and its waters are navigable. == History == Udyavara has a rich history, dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE. Test excavations yielded pottery from around that time, and what is perhaps the earliest information about the Jaina Santaras, rulers of Hombuchcha, have been obtained from this place. Udyavara was one of the earliest capitals of the Alupa dynasty. It was a source of conflict between two factions of the family, becoming a battleground during the 8th and 9th centuries AD. Numerous inscriptions have been reported, providing the earliest epigraphical information about them. During this period Udyavara had two fortifications. The inner wall enclosed a palace, while the outer wall enclosed the town. The city lost much of its heritage to modern development. Remnants of fort walls, temples and inscriptions document Udyavara's ancient glory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Udyavara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
