History
Hasta Shilpa Heritage Village is the brainchild of the late Mr. Vijaynath Shenoy, a passionate advocate for preserving the cultural heritage of Karnataka. Over several decades, he painstakingly collected dilapidated traditional houses, temples, and other structures from across the region, saving them from demolition and decay. He then meticulously reconstructed these buildings at the village, using traditional techniques and materials. The village stands as a testament to his dedication and vision, offering visitors a chance to experience the architectural splendor and cultural richness of coastal Karnataka's past. His efforts have ensured that these invaluable pieces of history are preserved for future generations.
