Manuvana Park — Attraction in Karnataka

used by the aristocracy in medieval times for game hunting. They had walls or thick hedges around them to keep game animals (e.g., stags) in and people out. It was strictly forbidden for commoners to hunt animals in these deer parks.

These may have served as hunting grounds but they also proclaimed the owner's wealth and status.
