Overview

Hampi is a vast heritage landscape of ruined temples, royal structures, market streets, river crossings and granite boulders along the Tungabhadra. Once a centre of the Vijayanagara Empire, it rewards slow exploration: the significance lies not only in individual monuments but in the relationship between sacred spaces, settlement remains, water systems and the surrounding terrain.
