Now do you think if you can completely sightsee hampi in a day or two? Definitely no. Apart from the above places which i call “named places” , there are many unnamed places which you you have to explore on yourn own.
There are many local tales about the region, mystery about how the place became so rich in such a short time and fell to its hands of invaders so shortly.

This stone canal diverts water from the nearby tunghabadra river. There are benches made of stone and plate shaped pieces removed from the stone. So thousand of people can eat and within few moments the plates can be washed by diverting water from the riverand again food can be served to the waiting queue. What a great idea? But i cannot understand how such a small empire can do such big things like this. The population is also very less and how did they manage to build this city in such short span of time.

If the dancing stage was this big, how could the king and people enjoyed the show? Is it really a dancing stage or something else? Mystery surrounds? No answer.

Water from a nearby source is diverted and the linga is continuously drenched with water. The siphon concept is well utlised in hampi and in many places water gushes through rocks. How did they manage to drill hole through rocks and control the water is another unanswered question.
So now i will be visiting hampi again to get more answers(or new questions, who knows?)
see you soon.
