Delivering a special lecture on “Art and Architecture of Tulunad” in a program organized by PG Department of History and Archaeology, Department of History, in collaboration with IQAC at Ravindra Kalabhavana of University College Mangalore, here on Tuesday. There are more than 4000 temples in Tulunad. Most of these were not built by kings but by people. So it is difficult to measure their specific period, he said.
