Narrating interesting anecdotes, he said, “Someone informed me about the burial place of the film actress Manjula. When I visited Tumkuru, there used to be a Krishna temple, I encountered an inscription. My friends and I had difficulty deciphering a portion of it. I sought guidance from my mentor, KR Narasimhan, and together we revealed that Krishnadevaraya died on October 17, 1529. This date had been previously speculated, but we were able to confirm it, by converting the Shaka year to the Gregorian calendar.
