2.  Karnataka is a tapestry of colours, cultures, flavours, landscapes,
timelessness and heart- stopping beauty. A place where vibrant
worlds seamlessly meld into one another, every few hundred
kilometres. Sedate plains suddenly rise to dizzying mist-covered hilly
heights, and then plunge with careless abandon in a whitewater
freefall, to become languid rivers that flow past cities - cities where
time has stopped altogether, and cities where time rushes a
relentless rush to keep up with the world; cities that sometimes
escape into the deep quiet of thick forests and sometimes, stretch
their arms wide open to embrace the sea. Host to some of India's
largest and most powerful dynasties, the state has across the
centuries, carried a legacy of art and culture as varied as its
geography making it, by all means, a 191,791 square kilometre trail
of whimsy.
