History of Hampi

Founded in 1336 by Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, the Vijayanagara Empire rose to prominence under the Sangama Dynasty. Hampi, as its capital, became a critical center of culture, commerce, and administration, rapidly expanding its influence across South India.
The reign of Krishna Deva Raya (1509-1529) marked the zenith of the Vijayanagara Empire. Hampi flourished with grand temples, bustling markets, and architectural marvels. The city was a melting pot of diverse cultures, languages, and traditions, reflecting the empire's vast reach and prosperity.
Hampi is renowned for its stunning architecture and intricate sculptures. The Virupaksha Temple, Vittala Temple with its iconic stone chariot, and the royal enclosures like the Lotus Mahal and Elephant Stables showcase the artistic and engineering prowess of the Vijayanagara period.
In 1565, the Battle of Talikota marked a significant turning point for Hampi. The combined forces of the Deccan Sultanates defeated the Vijayanagara Empire, leading to widespread destruction. Hampi was ransacked, and its grandeur faded into ruins, marking the decline of one of South India's greatest empires.
Hampi was not only a political hub but also a spiritual and cultural center. The city housed numerous temples dedicated to various deities, showcasing the religious tolerance and diversity of the era. Annual festivals like the Hampi Utsav continue to celebrate this rich heritage.
The ruins of Hampi were largely forgotten until the 19th century when British archaeologists and historians began to document and study the site. Extensive archaeological efforts have since unearthed many of its treasures, leading to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
Today, Hampi is a major tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world. Its landscapes, dotted with boulders and ancient ruins, offer a unique glimpse into the grandeur of the Vijayanagara Empire. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and restore its historical monuments, ensuring that the legacy of Hampi endures.

Alternatively, the Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore, around 350 kilometers away, offers more flight options. From either airport, you can hire a taxi or take a train to Hospet, the closest railway station to Hampi, which is just 13 kilometers away. Hospet is well-connected to major cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Goa by rail. From Hospet, you can take a local bus or hire an auto-rickshaw to reach Hampi.

Auto-rickshaws are also available for hire and are a convenient way to get around. For longer journeys, you can book taxis. Public buses connect Hampi with Hospet and other nearby towns, but they can be infrequent. Renting a car is an option, but be prepared for narrow and sometimes poorly maintained roads.
The official currency in India is the Indian Rupee (INR). Credit cards are accepted in some hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but it is advisable to carry cash, especially for smaller establishments and local markets. ATMs are available in Hospet and some parts of Hampi, but it is wise to withdraw sufficient cash before arriving in Hampi to ensure you have enough funds for your stay.
Hampi is generally a safe destination for tourists. However, it is important to take standard precautions. Avoid isolated areas after dark and keep an eye on your belongings in crowded places. While Hampi does not have specific high-crime areas targeting tourists, it is always best to stay vigilant. Be cautious when dealing with touts offering services or goods, and confirm prices beforehand to avoid scams.
In case of emergency, dial 112 for immediate assistance. The local police station and medical facilities are available in Hospet. It is recommended to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. For minor health issues, there are pharmacies in Hospet where you can purchase over-the-counter medications. Carry a basic first aid kit and any necessary prescription medications with you.
Fashion: Do dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Avoid wearing revealing clothing. Religion: Do respect local customs and traditions.

Greetings: Do greet people with a 'Namaste' or a handshake. Eating & Drinking: Do try local delicacies and accept food offerings graciously. Don't refuse hospitality, as it is considered impolite.
To experience Hampi like a local, visit the local markets where you can buy fresh produce and traditional goods. Engage with locals, as they are often friendly and willing to share stories about the area's history and culture. Don't miss the sunrise and sunset views from the Matanga Hill and Hemakuta Hill.
