#Thread on ‘nakedness in native clothing’ in certain regions of South India as recorded by European travellers,merchants & Persian ambassador in 1200-1500 CE before advent of Islamic/Christian/Victorian morality in societies :- #History #India #Bharat #Naked #Culture #SouthIndia

Once there were two brothers, Harihara and Bukha raya. They were both from Hampi, in Karnataka on the banks of the river Thungabhadra.
They both knew that their city needed an empire and hence laid the foundations of the great Vijayanagara empire. The empire is named after its capital Vijayanagara, which is modern day Hampi. Harihara became the first ruler and conquered many parts of the country.
Temples of #SouthIndia are shining examples of marvels of architectural grandeur created by our #Hindu civilization.
