Virupaksha Temple located in the city of Hampi, India is part of the Unesco World Heritage site of the “Group of Monuments at Hampi”. This temple started out as a small shrine and grew to be the last capital of the Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagar. Look out for our next article on Vijayanagar as the next chapter in #vintagecities While it is believed that the temple has been functioning uninterruptedly ever since the small shrine was built in the 7th century AD, it became popular among travellers between the 14th and 16th centuries. The largest entrance tower of the temple is 50 meters high #virupakshatemple #vijayanagara #vintagetemples #temple #architecture #templesofindia #incredibeindia #hinduism #buddhism #incredibleindia #vintage #history #kings #royalty #wondersoftheworld #worldrecord #indianhistory #ancientarchitecture #ancientindia #templesoftheworld #photography #photograph #vintagestory #unescoworldheritage #unesco #unescoworldheritagesite (at Virupaksha Temple Hampi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCi1WWCAv7b/?igshid=1k1g9z03s376q
