Hampi – A tale from the past
In the 14th century, Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire.
According to the Persian and European travelers’ accounts, Hampi was a thriving, opulent, and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with several temples, farms, and commercial markets. By 1500 CE, Hampi-Vijayanagara had grown to become the world’s second-largest medieval-era city, after Beijing, and India’s richest, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal.
