Hampi, in the north of Karnataka state, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a beautiful laid-back tourist stop. It’s situated in an agricultural landscape with fields of sugarcane, banana trees, and rice paddies–the three main crops. It’s known for the complex of temple ruins built around 1400. Many of the 83 monuments feature sculptures of Hanuman, the mythological monkey god, whose birthplace is said to be Hampi. Thus, it is considered to be a holy place.
