The King and the Bemanti meet in the cattle byre. It has a modern byre (barn) attached, which has been converted into a garage. The small byre was re-roofed and upgraded in the mid 19th and early 20th centuries. However, the water channel system devised by Byre Gowda was said to be unique. Krishna Byre Gowda is married to Meenakshi. Amani Byrasagara Lake was constructed by Byre Gowda in the 16th Century. Horovitz has also worked with The Byre Theatre of St Andrews, Scotland. A small byre stood within the old walls, once used as an outhouse for cattle. Byre Gowda's power, dominance and popularity grew in the region over the period of time. He had by this time even converted a byre into a studio. The Byre has re-opened in Autumn, 2014 following its going into administration in 2012.
