Top Attractions
Virupaksha Temple
This ancient Shiva temple, also known as the Pampapathi Temple, has been a living place of worship since well before the Vijayanagara Empire was founded. Its nine-tiered eastern gopuram rises about 50 meters and is a landmark of Hampi, with the sanctum housing a linga of Virupaksha. The temple remains active, with daily rituals and festivals, making it a spiritual heart of the ruins.
Hampi Bazaar
This long, wide street stretches from the Virupaksha Temple eastward, once a bustling market of the Vijayanagara capital. Today, the bazaar is lined with ruined stone pavilions and pillared mandapas that once housed shops, while the street still buzzes with small stalls and cafes. Walking along it gives a sense of the city's former grandeur and its role as a trade hub.
Hemakuta Hill
Hemakuta Hill is a rocky plateau dotted with dozens of small temples, shrines, and monolithic sculptures, many predating the Vijayanagara Empire. It offers panoramic views over the Virupaksha Temple, Hampi Bazaar, and the Tungabhadra River, making it a popular spot for sunset. The hill also contains the famous Sasivekalu Ganesha and Kadalekalu Ganesha statues, carved from single boulders.
