My memorable holidays in Hampi, the historic city of Karnataka

My last year’s holiday trip was to Hampi with my cousins. Hampi is a village of Karnataka. It was here the former capital of Vijayanagara Empire situated. Now you can find its ruins here. We were for a 4 days holiday trip there. As we entered Hampi via Hospet we could see Sasivekalu Ganesha.  This is a statue of Lord Ganesha with a snake tied around its tummy. There is an interesting story behind this. Once the Lord Ganesha ate so much food that his tummy almost burst. He immediately caught a snake and tied it around his tummy as a belt to save his tummy from bursting. Our entry was amazing with Lord Ganesha’s Darshan.

The ruins here are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site and are listed as Group of Monuments. Each and eve
