Things to know about world heritage Hampi

 

History of Hampi dates back to the early period of Lord Rama’s exile. Steeped in hallowed beliefs, the region also reflects the glory and grandeur of the Vijayanagar Empire

When it comes to the important world heritage sites in India, the ruins of Hampi hold the top position in the prestigious list. Hampi is basically a village located in the northern part of Karnataka which forms an integral part of the ruins of Vijaynagar (the once capital of the Vijaynagar Empire). This place, apart from being an important religious centre, is home to several other monuments that belonged to the old city. One of the interesting facts about Hampi apart from its history and culture is that this place is closely associated with the events of the Ramayana. According to the epic, when Lord Rama and his brother were wandering in the forest searching for the trails of Devi Sita (Lord Rama’s wife), who was abducted by the demon King Ravana, both these brothers came to this region in search of Vail and Sugriv (two monkey brothers) who ruled in this region.
