New Year's Greetings from Google

The Pride of Karnataka: Hampi

Hampi is a village in northern Karnataka state, India. It is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Complementing the city of Vijayanagara, it continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple, as well as several other monuments belonging to the old city.

I visited this historical marvel back in 2007 and had taken several snaps and thought i would share those moments with you.The village is located in the district of Bellary near the city of Hospet  (city of iron).

structure from falling due a previous lightning strike













There are two ways of visiting this hotspot(literally) by road or rail. 
All accomodations are easily available and affordable but the only thing that gets you is the preposterous heat, so if you are planning to visit in the summer, you have to be out of your mind. 


Try to visit during the winter.
Make a touring vehicle as you get down, so you can quickly be able to cover the vast area of the ruins.                                               


Once you set foot into ruins of Hampi i will guarantee you, you will feel like taken back in time.I got so nostalgic that i didn't feel like coming back.
You wish you could see the mounuments as they were but sadly they have been lost over the invasions by muslim and other external forces (read the history please).
                                                       
The Vijayanagara Empire had reached its zenith under the rule of King Krishna Deva Raya who had spanned the empire all over south india.
Now i would like to display some photos by me.

An Underground temple sort of thing (it was filled with water inside)

The Queen's palace.(i think)
But one thing i am sure is that the monument had a pipeline cooling system to keep the rooms cool .
A watch tower (pretty defensive)

The stables 

The invaders seemed particular in chipping off the chest and faces of the sculptures

The Stepped Tank where a Dr.Rajkumar film on Krishnadevaraya  was shot



This was the stepped platform on top of which the king used to sit and view the annual festivities (Dasara).




The Queen's Bath Pool (Pretty Small!)
