Did You Know There Is an Indian Open of Surfing?
Indian Open of Surfing to kick off in Mangaluru today
Batpady beach remains undeveloped due to apathy
After Sasihithlu, smaller beaches cry for attention
A day after the surfing extravaganza Sasihithlu beach is back to its prestine self
Development akin to Sentosa Island mooted at Pilikula
Planetarium with advanced technology to become Mangaluru’s major tourist attraction
3D planetarium construction work inspected
Whether they will have 2D shows also or only 3D shows? There are very good 2D films which Mangalorean should not miss to see.
What Mangaluru should aim at is a Science & Industry Museum explaining working principles of various models of machines and their development through various stages of history like
Science Museum in London. For example, ship models (Mangaluru missed aircraft carrier museum), rudder models, engine models, control room models etc, demonstration models explaining working principles and historical models explaining development stages. Museum can be in Pilikula or Taneerbhavi. Or, since Mangaluru is aiming to be Health City, at least we should have a 'Health Museum' with various equipments used by medical practioners in various stages of history and other medical stuff (much more than what Manipal is having now). Similarly theme based centres for other focused domains like petrochemicals (ask MRPL for investment as they have made good profit this year), marine, agriculture, video gaming, robotics etc. Even Sasihitlu can have a marine sports museum.
How many engineering & medical colleges in Mangaluru are having their own museums?
Does Mangaluru require an urban planning exhibition centre? (

2,
3) Good thing is city has planned for community centre as part of smart city project. Anyway there are so many tile factories waiting to be converted as museums.
Hitech touch to Tulunadu's Lagori: Tulunadu cup - 2017 from June 25th
Mangaluru: 'Lagori Tulunadu Cup' from June 25 set to revive childhood memories
One of the game which needs hitech touch is Marakoti (कपिप्लवन, a kind of
tree climbing game). Wanderlust, which is planning for adventure sports at Pilikula, can also plan for this game by further enhancing its effectiveness by combining with rope bridge,
tree house, tree net etc. This kind of desi-touch can add more to Pilikula's tourist attraction.
