Hampi, the cultural gem in need of better preservation

Hampi, in Karnataka’s Vijayanagara district, is renowned for its stone structures, seamlessly blending history and aesthetics.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 for its cultural and architectural significance, it attracts tourists from around the world and is recognised as a top tourism destination.

However, concerns persist over the preservation of its architectural wonders. Locals argue that despite the steady influx of visitors, basic amenities remain inadequate.

While its stone-carved wonders inspire awe, many emphasise the need for better conservation to preserve these monuments for future generations, offering them a glimpse into Karnataka’s rich culture and history.

As historians, locals, and visitors admire this UNESCO World Heritage Site, the call for better facilities and preservation grows stronger. Experts argue that protecting Hampi’s grandeur isn’t just a responsibility but a commitment to safeguarding history for future generations.
