Tungabhadra Dam

A large early-16th-century temple at Ananthasayanagudi, about 5 km from Hosapete, built by Krishnadevaraya for a reclining (Ananthasayana) Vishnu; its rare barrel-vaulted brick-and-stone sanctum is one of very few of its kind, though the image is long gone.

A hilltop Shiva (Jambunatheshwara) temple on a granite outcrop near Hosapete, reached by a stepped climb, giving quiet views over the town and the Tungabhadra plains.

The medieval royal suburb of Malapanagudi on the old Hampi–Hosapete road, with a large stepped tank, an octagonal domed bath and remains of the stone aqueduct that once carried water to the imperial capital.

The "Underground" Shiva temple — one of Hampi’s oldest shrines, built below the surrounding ground level so its pillared halls and sanctum, reached down a flight of steps, flood and stay cool; it sits on the road toward the royal centre.

The largest monolith in Hampi — a 6.7 m image of Narasimha, the man-lion avatar of Vishnu, carved in 1528 and seated under a seven-hooded serpent; the adjacent Badavilinga is a large monolithic Shiva linga.

A ruined Balakrishna (Vishnu) temple built by Krishnadevaraya in 1513 to mark his conquest of Udayagiri, just south of Hemakuta Hill — a walled complex with a large gopuram, pillared halls and a colonnaded bazaar street; the deity it once held is now in a Chennai museum.

A 2.4 m monolithic Ganesha carved from a single boulder within an open pillared pavilion on the Hemakuta slope, named for its "mustard-seed" belly; the larger Kadalekalu Ganesha stands nearby.

A low granite hill just south of the Virupaksha temple studded with pre-Vijayanagara temples, gateways and monolithic shrines — Hampi’s favourite sunset spot with views over the ruins.

The living heart of Hampi — a Shiva temple in continuous worship since the 7th century, with a towering ~50 m gopuram on the bank of the Tungabhadra at the head of Hampi Bazaar.

The compact royal chapel of the Vijayanagara kings, its outer walls and inner pillars covered in bands of relief carving telling the Ramayana — "a thousand Ramas".

A giant monolithic Ganesha about 4.5 m tall, carved from a single boulder and named for its "gram-seed" belly, sheltered in an open pillared pavilion on the Hemakuta slope near the Krishna temple.

The great three-tiered granite ceremonial platform at the heart of the Royal Enclosure, from which the Vijayanagara kings watched the Mahanavami (Dasara) festivities; its sides carry carved friezes of elephants, horses, hunts and dancers, with the stepped Pushkarani tank close by.
