Welcome to wikipedia
[edit]Dear Mika Nalin, please accept my humble apologies for my rough language earlier today. Sometimes we get caught up with other day-to-day stresses and it comes out the wrong way on the media. Please understand that many months of work by people with good intentions have gone into this page and to see a POV tag without discussion is very distressing and frustrating emotionally . You should have discussed on my talk page first and given me a chance to explain. The nomenclature "kingdom" and "empire" is not just determined by size but also by contribution. The Hoysalas are famous not just in India but even abroad for their architecture. Paintings of Hoysala sculptures adorn the walls of the Houston Museum in the USA. Hoysala architecture is a frequent topic on Hoysala Vrinda, an organization of educated individuals in Houston. Vasundhara Filliozat, an expert on Medeival Karnataka architecture at Univ. of Paris teaches Hoysala architecture as a subject there.Please try to reach out, learn and discuss before tagging. Happy editing and contributions.Dineshkannambadi 01:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
