Musical pillars

One thing that surprised me beyond measure and displayed the ingenuity of Vijayanagar Empire is the musical pillars. Small length pillars of 4 are built and arranged in such a manner to produce different music - not only of instruments, but even that of horse and so on. The guide informed us that when all the pillars where functioning, the music could be heard up to a kilometre!

Vittala Temple

The state of Karnataka has good number of historic sites. Unlike its southern counterpart, Tamilnadu, Karnataka provides all possible tourism facilities.

Of all the historic sites in the state, Hampi is world known. It has to be! The rocks, temples, and the village itself takes you through history. It is good that ASI (Archaeological society of India) plays a prominent role in preserving these historic monuments.
