‘Suranga Bawadi’ enters World Monument Watch list

Suranga Bawadi, an integral part of the ancient Karez system of supplying water through subterranean tunnels built during Adil Shahi era in Vijayapura, is now set to get funding for restoration. A New York-based non-governmental organisation has included it in the World Monument Watch list for 2020 along with 24 other monuments from across the world. The monument has been selected under the ‘Ancient Water System of the Deccan Plateau’ by World Monuments Fund, which monitors restoration of ancient monuments across the globe.
