Humpi-capital of Vijayanager empire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It became the centre of the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire capital in the 14th century. Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city on the banks of Tungabhadra River, with temples, farms and trading markets. The Vijayanagara Empire was defeated and destroyed by a coalition of Muslim sultanates of Bijapur, Golconda, Ahemednagar, Bidar in 1565.
Read about prosperity Vijaynagar Empire and its destruction of Humpi in school and could visit this historical place. Realized both aspects of prosperity and massive destruction by the sultanates.
Got about 3-4 to four hours to move around which was not enough at all. Thinking of visiting again for 2 days to know history better.
