Hampi Revisited
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 |
| Visitors to Hampi miss out on the best by restricting their visit to the heritage site of the Vijayanagara empire. Across the river is the royal village of Anegundi set amidst lush green fields of paddy and banana, a refreshing contrast to the barren landscape of Hampi.
Anegundi, believed to be the monkey kingdom of Kishkinda in the epic of Ramayana, is at a distance of 5 km from the historical site of Hampi. It is being developed into a world class tourist spot by engaging the localites to sensitise them to their cultural wealth and provide them a means of livelihood. |
