First step in Hampy


We started our journey in
Hampi with lots of curiosity. We reached the bank of Tungabhadra river then we took a boat and here starts our journey towards Hampi, we crossed the river and reached another side of the river. And here we stepped into Hampi the ancient city of Vijayanagar, the capital of the Vijayanagara empire. Hampi sits on the banks of the Tungabhadra River. We saw a crowded place with locals as well as foreigners.  Then we stepped into Virupaksha Temple. This is the main center of pilgrimage at Hampi and has been considered the most sacred sanctuary over the centuries. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, known here as Virupaksha. Virupaksha is an avatar of Lord Shiva, and among all the surrounding ruins, this temple is intact and is still in use. Then we went to another great monument that is Achyutraya Temple. Achyuta Raya Temple is one of the magnificent and major temples of Hampi I heard that this temple is dedicated to lord Vishnu. There are so many beautiful carvings of elephants. Then we saw one of the largest statues of Lord Ganesha. It situated on the slope of the Hemakuta Hill. It's a very beautiful stone structure. The Lakshmi Narasimha statue is one of the largest monolith statues in Hampi. It has really brilliant work of architecture.  Besides that, there is a large statue of Shiv Linga that is called Badawlinga. Then we took our bicycles what I found is a bicycle has a unique charm of its own and can be a great way to explore the rocky hills in Hampy. then we came with lots of curiosities and beautiful memories in our mind, with a shining sunset we crossed the river...After we had discussions about our experiences n all. And then we decided agenda or next morning. The next agenda was to explore  Anegundi, a small village in Karnatakaa
