Global Health Symposium May 2 – Daily Recap: Group Excursion!

Tuesday May 1st was excursion day for students at the Symposium! Students visited Karkala, and were mesmerized by the monument of Bahubali, a highly revered Jain deity, built during the Ganga dynasty in 981 AD. Students were also privileged to visit the Thousand Pillar Temple in Moodabidri.
