When to go to Hampi?
Boulders the size of houses tumble across the landscape at Hampi, and among them stand the temples of the old Vijayanagara capital. Virupaksha works as a temple rather than a ruin, with flower offerings and drums at dusk, while the stone chariot at the Vittala complex remains the image everyone carries away. Late in the day the granite turns amber and every rock becomes a viewpoint.
