Karnataka

The terrain of Karnataka ranges from a narrow Arabian Sea coastal plain in the west to the Deccan Plateau in the interior and east, with the Western Ghats forming a decisive divide. Rain-fed forests and plantation country occupy parts of the Ghats, whereas much of the interior is drier and marked by rocky hills and cultivated plains. The Cauvery flows through southern Karnataka towards Tamil Nadu; the Krishna and Tungabhadra shape the north. Hampi, on the Tungabhadra, contains the monumental remains of Vijayanagara, capital of a major South Indian empire from the 14th to 16th centuries. Bengaluru adds a major contemporary urban presence, while Mysuru is associated with Wadiyar royal heritage. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Karnataka.
