Tarakeswara Temple, Hangal
As the civilisation evolved, religion and temples and other religious centres acted as focal point of societies around the world. India is no exception.
Many large temples in ancient and mediaeval India acted as learning centres. Religion was instrumental in laying ethics for the society, gave art, craft, sculpture, music, performing arts and linguistics a huge boost.
Tarakeswara Temple located in a small dusty town of Hangal, even today is centre for various societal activities.
When I visited this ancient temple, a group of women from around the locality were having their regular meeting. I was told that they exchange information, practice music and even exchange recipes while they meet under the roofs of this ancient temple.
