Historian Calls for Restoration of Ancient Temples
A historian named MyNaa Swamy wants the government to fix up some really old temples on a hill called Mallela Gutta.
These temples are from a time when a big empire called Vijayanagara ruled.
He wants them fixed up because they are important for the history and culture of the area.
The temples are slowly falling apart.
The government is looking into it, and some officials are going to check out the temples soon.
These temples were built in a specific style by the Vijayanagara rulers.
Historian MyNaa Swamy urged the State government to restore ancient temples.

The temples are from the Vijayanagara empire.
A formal representation was submitted to the Department of Tourism.
