Free Kannada Audio Guide Launched at Hampi, Bellary and Halebidu to Digitise Tourism
Tourists visiting the heritage sites can now scan QR codes to access a free audio guide in Kannada that narrates the history of the monuments.
The Karnataka tourism department has introduced a free Kannada audio guide for visitors to the historic sites of Hampi, Bellary and Halebidu. The guide is accessed by scanning QR codes placed at key points around the monuments.
Once the QR code is scanned, the audio narration explains the history, architecture and cultural significance of the site in the local language. The service is part of a broader effort to digitise tourism experiences across the state.
The initiative is expected to enhance visitor engagement and provide an accessible way for tourists to learn about the heritage sites without the need for a physical guide. It also supports the promotion of Kannada language and culture.
Officials say the audio guide will be updated periodically to include new research findings and visitor feedback, ensuring the content remains accurate and relevant.
