1/22 & 1/23 in Hampi

Historically, Hampi was called Vijaynagar - City of Victory. From the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries Hampi as the most powerful Hindu kingdom. In the late sixteenth century, after a six month siege, the Muslim army from the north conquered the city, destroyed the temples, and ended the Hindu dynasty.
