I am thrill and surprise that 400 years back there was so much Science and knowledge available on Stone carving, design thought symmetry, architectural view and out of world Music Pillar (unfortunately it now closed for visitor) To see detail carving on Stone Chariot itself will take some time. I strongly wish they should start every hour demonstration program (Strictly security guided) with tickets. As other Hampi temples this one big temple but many sculpture are destroyed and so pooja / archana happen at this place. Area is so specious and well maintain by archelogy department. Kudos. They have kept Battery operated vehicle from entrance to temple which is also good. One suggestion for such place guide is must and Charges for guide should be formally displayed at ticket entrance. Or Now Audio Guide facility should be available. Toilets & Washroom needed for Visitor which is missing.

The Elephant Stable in Hampi is an impressive structure that was used to provide shelter for the royal elephants of the Vijayanagara Empire. The elephant stable is located in the area that lies just outside the Zenana Enclosure..it is a historical place..The ancient stable is a major attraction among the tourists even today.

Mesmerizing place to watch sunset or sunrise..once you are at the top you will see lush green paddy fields along with coconut tress which just add on the beauty of the place. The stretches of tungabhadra river flowing around just creates a fairytale kind of scenery.

Visited Hill for sunset view. We parked our can near Hampi Bus stand and strolled towards hills which is 10 mins walk from the car parking. Started climbing hill up and reached to the top in just 25 minutes. The climbing hill isn’t very safe as the boulders are little curvy, slippery and there is nothing to hold for support. Don’t forget to carry water and a torch with you. View from the hilltop is breath taking. You can get a 360 degree surreal view of Hampi displaying Virupaksha temple, Hampi Bazaar, Boulders scattered to the places on one side and green paddy fields, Anjaneya Hills on the other side of the Tungabhadra river.

2 storied building, with intricate architecture resembling a Lotus. It's said this was the resting/socializing place for the Royal women of the kingdom. One of the most beautifully preserved buildings in Hampi !

You can sit in the shade and watch the pilgrim families perform puja. Wade across to the other side or take a boat for 20Rs. Elephant bathing every morning
