Ancient ruins that are spread over 26 sq km area,

many of which lie in and around Hampi Bazaar and the nearby riverside area, which also encompasses

the city’s most sacred enclave of temples and ghats. East of Hampi Bazaar is the UNESCO-listed 16th

century Vittala Temple, the undisputed highlight of the ruins.

Set in beautiful countryside amongst sandstone hills, lakes and peaceful farmlands, Badami is magnificently

situated in a canyon, and scattered amongst the surroundings hills are temples, fortifications and carvings.

Badami is best known for its remarkable cave temples. They display the full range of Indian religious sects.
