Hampi....." Poetry in Stones "











Hampi is a small village in Karnataka on the banks of Tungabhadra River, About 340km from Bangalore and 13 km from Hospet. It is located within the ruins of Vijaynagara, the former capital of the Vijaynagara kingdom. Several monuments can be found here, taking us back to the glorious period of Indian History.These ruins at Hampi are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.It was a wonderful tour and if you happen to visit Bangalore...then it is worth taking some time off and making a trip to Hampi.Its truely poetry written in stones.

Sun Set In Hospet......







This is a picture of the sun set over the Tungabhadra River in Hospet. The third picture is of the Tungabhadra Dam where a part of the musical garden can also be seen. It was an awesome sight as we stood over the hill watching the sun set in slowly and darkness settle around us.
