Hampi, the ancient capital city of the powerful Vijayanagar Empire, was founded by Harihara and Bukka in 1336, but was annexed by the Muslims in 1565, in the Battle of Talikota. This ancient city of Hampi soon was abandoned and left in ruins. Being a world heritage site, you can feel the pulse of the ancient dynasty that ruled the people of Vijaynagar.

It is the world’s largest open-air museum. The ruins are located in two areas, generally referred to as the Royal Centre. The Archeological Museum in Hampi is under the Archeological Survey of India.

The rugged terrain of Hampi has the Tungabhadra River flowing in the north and rocky granite cliffs on other sides. Amidst these natural surrounding stands the ruins of Hampi, an eternal architectural splendor. So aptly, the royal Muslim envoy, Abdul Razaq had commented about Hampi being incomparable to any other, when he traveled to its ruins in 1443.
