Grand Hamp and interesting people (continued, part 3) arrived in Hampi that same evening, I quickly found a comfortable small hotel, which was located on the banks of the river Tangabhadra. March is here the beginning of low season, so he had time to do a lot of cases. I chose this hotel because the owner told me that first night, I can sleep for free on the roof of the restaurant, and then he will hand me a room with bathroom, balcony and good view of just over 200 rupees (? 3) per day. The only thing I had to do before you get on the roof is put online to night, annoying the monkey did not bother me fumble through my bag in search of food. Royal bath the next day I got up early, opened gifts, greeting cards read (it was my birthday) and went to "raid". I felt that I wanted to spend some time alone, as the last four months of my wanderings around me always someone there was, though to be alone in a country with a population of 1.1 billion people was not easy. In general, I went a little wander around the sprawling desert and look at the ruins of Hampi. I first saw the Virupaksha temple, which was dedicated to Shiva ... as 90% of all temples in India. Then I climbed the hill Hemakuta, where he found more ruins and the famous Temple of Ganesha carved in a monolithic rock, which is considered one of the largest in the world. After that I went on a Royal Center, which houses most of the attractions of Hampi. There are garden harem of the Sultan, the palace of Lotus Mahal, Virupaksha underground temple, a shelter for elephants and royal baths. There, in the center, there are many buildings of the Islamic period, erected after the capture of the sultanate in the middle of the XVI century. Also there you can see an interesting mix of Indian and Islamic ancient buildings. The first of those that I have ever seen so close. A mixture of architectures of Islam and Hinduism Once I spent a few hours, I decided to cross the wasteland and thus shorten the road to the other temple ruins, which were visible in the distance. At first I wanted to climb the mountain standing alone and look at the small temple, which was at its peak. However, I spent a lot of time trying to find a way there. Then I got to Barb, I have finished the water on my feet, I had just flip-flops, so I started a little nervous, besides it was not clear where I was and how to get to the highway.
