The Krishna Temple Complex, Hampi: an Exploration of Its Identity As a Medieval Temple in the Contemporary Context
THE KRISHNA TEMPLE COMPLEX, HAMPI: AN EXPLORATION OF ITS IDENTITY AS A MEDIEVAL TEMPLE IN THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Ashima Krishna January, 2009 © 2009 Ashima Krishna ABSTRACT Hindu temples in India have been in abundance for centuries. However, many have lost their use over time. They lie vacant and unused on vast tracts of land across the Indian subcontinent, in a time when financial resources for the provision of amenities to serve the local community are hard to come by. In the case of Hampi, this strain is felt not only by the community inhabiting the area, but the tourism sector as well. Hampi’s immense significance as a unique Medieval-city in the Indian subcontinent has increased tourist influx into the region, and added pressure on authorities to provide for amenities and facilities that can sustain the tourism industry. The site comprises near-intact Medieval structures, ruins in stone and archaeologically sensitive open land, making provision of tourist facilities extremely difficult. This raises the possibility of reusing one of the abundant temple structures to cater to some of these needs, akin to the Virupaksha Temple Complex and the Hampi Bazaar. But can it be done? There is a significant absence of research on possibilities of reusing a Hindu Temple. A major reason for this gap in scholarship has been due to the nature of the religion of Hinduism and its adherents. Communal and political forces over time have consistently viewed all Hindu temples as cultural patrimony of the people, despite legal ownership resting with the Government of India. -

Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage
Sustaining Landscapes of Cultural Heritage: The Case of Hampi, India Final Report to The Global Heritage Fund Produced by Morgan Campbell 2012 Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage This report is the result of the Global Heritage Fund’s 2011 Preservation Fellowship Program. Research was undertaken by Morgan Campbell, a PhD student of Urban Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, during the summer of 2012. Global Heritage Fund Morgan Campbell 625 Emerson Street 200 [email protected] Palo Alto, CA 94301 www.globalheritagefund.org Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage ii Dedication I am incredibly grateful to numerous people for a variety of reasons. My time in Hampi during the summer of 2012 was one of the most significant experiences in my life. First, I dedicate this work to the Global Heritage Fund for providing me with the support to pursue questions of participatory planning in Hampi’s World Heritage Area. I thank James Hooper, whose earlier research in Hampi provided me with a good foundation and Dan Thompson who was incredibly understanding and supportive. Second, I’m deeply indebted to Shama Pawar of The Kishkindra Trust in Anegundi. Easily one of the most dynamic people I’ve ever met, without her assistance—which came in the form of conversations, tangible resources, and informal mentoring—I would have never been able to undergo this research project. It was because of Shama that I was able to experience and learn from Hampi’s living heritage. This report is about people, people who live in a heritage landscape. The residents of Hampi’s World Heritage Area are spread across time and space, so that when I say residents, I am referring to those living in the present and those who have lived in the past. -
Hampi Forever
Hampi forever Nupur Prothi Khanna Timely action has helped the World Heritage Site of Hampi shake off the endangered' tag... but several concerns remain. PRECIOUS AND VULNERABLE: Can Hampi balance the demands of conservation and tourism? - Bijoy Ghosh With the Karnataka government actively promoting Hampi as a destination for domestic and international tourism, the proposed tourism plan and infrastructure must take into account the concerns of the ASI. The decision to remove Hampi from the Endangered List by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, which is responsible for implementing UNESCO's 1972 World Heritage Convention, is a welcome one. While this is no doubt a shot in the arm for the Government of India, State Government of Karnataka and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), as well as a welcome relief for the local NGOs and inhabitants, it also brings with it responsibilities for all involved to ensure a sustained and caring future for this archaeological treasure. After being termed a World Heritage Site in danger in 1999, it took seven years and immense efforts by the Indian government and the ASI to rid this eminent site of the unfortunate designation. The intrusive structure and location of the bridge, along with the construction of a visitors' complex were unfortunate decisions that undermined the historicity of the site and thereby justified to some extent its endangered status. We now have to tread carefully while devising policies and decisions, and ensure that they focus on retaining the historic significance of the site. The first step in this direction has been the setting up of the Hampi World Heritage Site Management Authority (HWHSMA), the first of its kind in India which will in many ways influence the future course of heritage conservation in our country. -

Ruins Amongst the Boulders: Hampi, Anegundi, and Badami 25–29 December 2018 (4 Nights / 5 Days)
Ruins amongst the Boulders: Hampi, Anegundi, and Badami 25–29 December 2018 (4 nights / 5 days) Take a journey back in time to an age of splendour and glory. Feel the stress of city life fade away amidst boulder-strewn hills in the most magical part of the Tungabhadra Valley. At Hampi, the river unites two distinct cultures. We have the ancient, mysterious ruins of the Vijayanagara Empire, on the one hand, which somehow blends seamlessly with a unique hippy philosophy, on the other. Thus, music, drum circles, dance. And jam sessions add to the fun of traipsing among India’s finest ruins. In short, Hampi is not just a place to reconnect with our heritage, but also to chill and have fun in what is surely the most bizarrely stunning landscape in the entire Deccan Plateau. Soak in the incredibly rich historical past of a forgotten civilization as we walk in the footsteps of kings, past ruins that will come alive on this unique tour. Tales of past kings, bloody wars, triumphs, and tragic defeats will leap to life for you, unlike the pages of a dusty history book or a run-of-the-mill guided tour. Rejuvenate your mind and spirit as you indulge in a predawn coracle ride across the Tungabhadra. Huff and puff to the top of the Matanga Hill to be rewarded with one of the best views of the rising sun that South India has to offer. Stay at an eco-friendly hotel, set in a tiny, rustic village, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Hampi Bazaar.
