Introduction to Padma Lodge Hampi
Located at the spot where the ancient Vijaynagar Empire stood, Hampi is now a UNESCO world heritage site and is famous for the intricately carved temples strewn over rocky hills and ruins of the city which are a real treat for the eyes. The Padma Lodge Hampi is a popular name among hotels in Hampi and is quite popular among tourists.

Hampi is also called "The City of Ruins" and is still an important pilgrimage centre for Hindus owing to the presence of the Virupaksha Temple in the city. The residing deity of the temple is Lord Shiva and the temple is worth its weight because of the exquisite wall carvings that can be seen there. in fact Hampi is strewn with ancient structures, houses, streets, palaces, water tanks and so on. The name Hampi is derived from Hampe which in turn is derived from Pampa, the ancient name for the Tungabhadra River flowing by the city. The Vijayanagar kingdom was established in 1336 by Harihara I and his brother Bukka Raya I and lasted until 1646. however, its power had already declined considerably by then after a major military defeat at the hands of the Deccan sultanates in 1565. The empire was named after its capital city Vijayanagara. The writings of European travelers such as Domingo Paes, Fernao Nuniz and Niccol� Da Conti mention Vijayanagar and chronicles in the local vernacular literatures which provide crucial information about its history. Archaeological excavations at Vijayanagara have revealed the empire's power and wealth.
