Hampi Monuments and Temple 4kWalking tour

Hampi's historical significance traces back to its founding in the mid-14th century by princes Hakka and Bukka. The majority of Hampi's temples within the district were constructed between 1336 and 1570 CE during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire. This extensive site encompasses approximately 1600 monuments, distributed across 41.5 square kilometers. Hampi is also renowned for its striking resemblance to the Kishkindha kingdom depicted in the Ramayana epic, with Anjaneya Hill considered the birthplace of Hanuman. The city, characterized by its granite, lime mortar, and brick structures, is commonly referred to as the Ruins of Hampi due to the abundance of ancient architectural remnants.

The fall of the Vijayanagara Empire resulted in the sack of Hampi by invading sultanates, leaving the once-magnificent city in ruins. Today, the site is a desolate expanse of fragmented structures, bearing silent testament to a tumultuous history.
