Answer 1

Hint: Karnataka is a state in India's south-west region. It is the most populous state in South India and the sixth most populous in India. With the passing of the States Reorganisation Act on November 1, 1956, it was established. Karnataka was renamed Karnataka in 1973 after it was once known as the State of Mysore. The state is named after the Carnatic area. Bangalore is the country's capital and largest metropolis.

Complete answer:
Karnataka is surrounded on the west by the Arabian Sea, on the northwest by Goa, on the north by Maharashtra, on the northeast by Telangana, on the east by Andhra Pradesh, on the southeast by Tamil Nadu, and on the south by Kerala. It is the only southern state that has geographical boundaries with each of the other four sister states in India.

The state encompasses 191,976 square kilometres (74,122 square miles), or 5.83 percent of India's total geographic area. It is India's sixth-largest state in terms of land area. Karnataka also has some of India's few villages where Sanskrit is the primary language.

Karnataka has a palaeolithic history and has been home to some of India's most powerful empires in ancient and mediaeval times. These civilizations' thinkers and musical bards spawned socio-religious and literary movements that have lasted to the current day. Karnataka has made important contributions to both the Carnatic and Hindustani styles of Indian classical music.
