Karṇa, like his father, was a worshipper of Śiva. He is also reported to have built a temple of the *Meru* type at Kāśi, which came to be known as *Karṇameru*.² The only other recorded instance of his building activity was his foundation of the city of Karṇāvatī (mod. Karanbel),³ on a site about a mile from Tripurī.
