Hampi Sightseeing 2

Delve into the iconography of Hampi's ruins

Visit the ornately sculpted Royal enclosure, the Lotus Mahal or ‘palace’, and the imposing edifices of the elephant stables – vestiges of the former grand capital. Continue on to the Hazara Rama temple embellished with bas-reliefs depicting the scenes from the epic poem, Ramanayana. The temple walls are richly carved with friezes, depicting processions of horses, elephants, dancing girls and soldiers attired in impressive weaponry. End the sightseeing circuit at the Vittala temple, a 15th Century monument with sculpted pillars that produce musical notes when struck! The life-sized granite chariot in the courtyard with revolving wheels is sure to make you ponder at the architectural prowess of the Vijayanagara Empire.
