In this program, all the students and teachers of PDIT visited the Great Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The Great Hampi:


Hampi is a small village located in the northern part of Karnataka, India. It was once the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, one of the most powerful empires in Indian history. The city flourished during the 14th and 15th centuries and was known for its grand architecture, magnificent temples, and vibrant culture.

The heritage walk in Hampi started at the Virupaksha Temple, a magnificent temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is believed to have been built in the 7th century and is one of the oldest functioning temples in India. The temple complex includes several smaller shrines, courtyards, and a massive gateway tower. The intricate carvings and sculptures in the temple are a testament to the artistic and architectural excellence of the Vijayanagara Empire.

As the walk progressed, the students and teachers visited several other important landmarks in Hampi, including the Lotus Mahal, the Hazara Rama Temple, and the Vittala Temple. The Lotus Mahal is a beautiful palace built in the Indo-Islamic architectural style. The palace has several arches and domes and is believed to have been a summer palace for the queen.

The Hazara Rama Temple is another significant temple in Hampi that is dedicated to Lord Rama. The temple has several bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Ramayana, and the walls are adorned with beautiful carvings.


The Vittala Temple is the most famous temple in Hampi and is known for its exquisite architecture and musical pillars. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is believed to have been built in the 15th century. The temple complex includes several smaller shrines, mandapas, and a massive stone chariot.
