The most prominent are the Dharwar-Shimoga, the Gadag-Chitradurga and the Kolar schist belt. They provide a schist of fine texture which has been the choice stone of medieval architects. The same Dharwar system includes also a wealth of ore deposits, such as the iron and manganese of Sandur, the gold of Kolar etc. A long belt of granite from Bellary to the south has provided a good material of construction in the southern part of the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bchaud03-1.jpg\" alt=\"bchaud01\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b>Tu\u012bgabhadr\u0104 River at Haralahalli near Cau\u00b7ad\u0104napura.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><P>Sogayisi ba\u00c6da m\u0104marane<br \/>\nta\u2015televa\u2015\u2015iye p\u0122ta j\u0104ji sa\u00c6<br \/>\npageye kukilva k\u00b0gileye p\u0104\u00b7uva<br \/>\ntu\u00c6biye nallaro\u2015moga\u00c6<br \/>\nnagemogado\u2015 pa\u2015a\u00c6caleya<br \/>\nk\u0122\u00b7uva nallare n\u00b0\u2015po\u00b7\u0104va be<br \/>\n\u0137\u0137uga\u2015o\u2015am\u0104va na\u00c6dana<br \/>\nvana\u00c6ga\u2015o\u2015a\u00c6 banav\u0104si d\u016a\u014bado\u2015<br \/>\nC\u0104gada bh\u00b0gadakkarada g\u016ayada<br \/>\ngo\u0137\u0137iyala\u00c6pini\u00c6puga<br \/>\n\u2015g\u0104ram\u0104da m\u0104nisare<br \/>\nm\u0104nisarantar\u0104gi pu\u0137\u0137al\u016a<br \/>\nn\u0104giyum\u016an\u00b0 t\u0112rdupude t\u0112rido\u00b7a\u00c6<br \/>\nmaRidu\u00c6biy\u0104gi m\u016a\u013c<br \/>\nk\u00b0giley\u0104gi pu\u0137\u0137uvudu<br \/>\nnandanado\u2015 banav\u0104si d\u016a\u014bado\u2015<br \/>\nTe\u00c6ka\u013cag\u0104\u2015i s\u00b0\u00c6kido\u00b7a\u00c6o\u2015nu\u00b7i<br \/>\ng\u016a\u2015do\u00b7a\u00c6i\u00c6pan\u0104\u2015da g\u016a<br \/>\nya\u00c6 kivivokko\u00b7am birida<br \/>\nmalligega\u013c\u00b7o\u00b7am\u0104da ke\u00c6 dalam<br \/>\npa\u00c6ge\u00b7ego\u013c\u00b7o\u00b7am madhumah\u00b0tsava<br \/>\nm\u0104do\u00b7am\u016anane\u00c6 ben\u0104<br \/>\nra\u012bkusavi\u0137\u0137o\u00b7a\u00c6 nenevudenna<br \/>\nmanam banav\u0104sid\u016a\u014bamam<br \/>\n&#8220;In Banav\u0104sid\u016a\u014ba beautiful mango groves pleasing to the eyes, young betel leaves, j\u0104ti jasmins, campaka flowers, singing cuckoos, buzzing bumble-bees, lovers meeting their beloved with smiling faces are to be seen everywhere in hillocks and pleasure gardens.<\/p>\n<p>O, they are men, those who are abodes of renouncement;
