Shankararaav Baaladeekshit Joshi, popularly referred to as Shamba Joshi (1896–1991), was an authority on the culture of Karnataka. Joshi was known for his unique and distinctive style of research. The range of his interests, study, research and thinking was very extensive. As a result, he was able to do seminal[says who?] research in linguistic analysis including the historical names of different places, divine imagery and religious symbolism. Kannada Pustaka Praadhikara has brought out a collection of all his works recently[when?] in a six-volume publication. He spent most time in Sadankeri in Dharwad, India.
