#Hampi, located in #Karnataka, #India, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich #history and architectural marvels. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565 and is renowned for its vast ruins that include temples, palaces, and market streets. Hampi is situated near the Tungabhadra River and is spread over 4,100 hectares, showcasing more than 1,600 remains of Hindu temples, forts, and other structures. The site is significant for its historical and cultural heritage, reflecting the grandeur of the last great Hindu kingdom in South India.

The name Hampi is derived from the old name of the Tungabhadra #River, Pampa, and it has a deep connection with Hindu mythology, particularly the Ramayana and the Puranas. Hampi's Virupaksha Temple, an active place of worship, is among its most notable monuments. The city was a prosperous, wealthy, and grand city known for its architecture and was considered one of the world's largest cities and probably India's richest during its peak. However, after the defeat by a coalition of Muslim sultanates in 1565, Hampi was abandoned and left in ruins.

Today, Hampi's ruins are a testament to its historical significance, attracting scholars, tourists, and pilgrims. The site includes various architectural and cultural attractions, such as the Virupaksha Temple, the Krishna Temple, and the Vittala Temple, showcasing the Vijayanagara Empire's advanced urban planning, architecture, and artistry. Hampi continues to be an important site for archaeological studies and conservation efforts, offering insights into India's rich past and cultural heritage.
