Vijayanagara Empire & Sacred Ruins
Hampi is an ancient village in central Karnataka, renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, it features over 1,600 surviving monuments spread across a dramatic, boulder-strewn landscape along the Tungabhadra River.
Anegundi, previously called Kishkindha, is a village in Gangavathi, Koppal district, in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is older than Hampi, situated on the northern bank of the Tungabhadra River. Nimvapuram, a nearby village, has a mount of ash believed to be the cremated remains of the king Vali.
Hospet is the largest and fastest-growing industrial city and district headquarters of the Vijayanagara district in the Indian state of Karnataka. Hospet is known as “the steel city of Karnataka”. It is located on the bank of the Tungabhadra River and is 13 km from Hampi.
