With mind being saturated by natural beauty after my trip to Pune and of which (the nature's beauty I mean) I could have taken no more (atleast for another couple of months I guess), I was pretty excited when I got a call from my friend for a trip to Hampi.
So we took a trip to the city which not only hosts the ruins of the capital city of Vijayanagara Empire, but also have roots for many mythological stories I have came across my life.

| Short glimpse in to the vastness of the kingdom |

| Iconic Stone chariot at Vittala temple |

| Sculptor's master piece at Vittala. Depending on how you see it, this can be a shiva-linga, monkey nursing her baby, monkey carrying his baby, Hanumana carrying sanjevani mountain or frog |
