The tradition of preserving the ancestral houses of poets and such memorabilia does not prevail very strongly in Indian culture, however poet laureate Kuvempu’s house that has been converted into a museum as well as the Kuvempu Centenary Memorial Building are fitting tributes to one of the greatest cultural personalities of our times.

Kavishaila Poet - laureate, KUVEMPU's place and the beautiful hillock, that inspired his writing. A stoneghege like monument has been created to honour the poet.
Kavishaila, which is one of the great creative symbols in Kuvempu’s life and works has been given a majestic shape with sculpture resembling the ancient Stone Henges of England, but made to blend with the geography of the place.
