Hampi Bazaar is located on Hampi Bazaar Sreet, Hampi, Bellary, Karnataka, 583239, India.
Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Hampi Bazaar was once not only a bustling, thriving marketplace of the Vijayanagra empire, but also where high ranking nobles resided. Today, much of the old structures have been transformed to shops, hotels and restaurants- a skeletal version of its former glitzy self. As you walk its narrow path with Virupaksha temple in the near distance, you can picture queens, royalty and residents buying wares, apparels, spices, pottery, livestock etc from the local, Arab, European and Portuguese merchants who frequented Hampi, lured by its grandeur. There’s a fascinating photo gallery in the market where photographs of Hampi taken in 1856 by Alexander Greenlaw are on display. The usually sleepy bazaar becomes spirited and vivacious during the Hampi annual festival, Hampi Utsav, held in November. Hampi Bazaar is always the hotbed of all festive happenings that take place in Hampi, be it religious, cultural or temple festivals.
