IM Conserving
Our first conservation commitment is the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple at Rangasthala, Chikkaballapur — a sacred landscape of Hoysala–Vijayanagara architecture with a rare 24-sided Chakra Tirtha stepwell.
Under the Government of Karnataka's Namma Smaraka "Adopt a Monument" scheme, IM Nirmaan Foundation is a co-adopter and CSR patron of the restoration, in partnership with the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage, alongside co-adopter Discovery Village, with execution by Culkey Foundation under the Department's supervision.
The work is phased and ongoing: reviving the stepwell's historic water system, conserving stonework, developing the landscape and visitor amenities — with quarterly progress reporting throughout.
