241 IN - Group of Monuments at Hampi (1986)

Brief Description

"The austere, grandiose site of Hampi was the last capital of the last great Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagar. Its fabulously rich princes built Dravidian temples and palaces which won the admiration of travellers between the 14th and 16th centuries. Conquered by the Deccan Muslim confederacy in 1565, the city was pillaged over a period of six months before being abandoned."

汉皮古迹群
"宏伟庄严的汉皮遗址是印度最后一个王朝查耶那加尔帝国最后的首都。14世纪至16世纪期间,富可敌国的王子们建造许多德拉威庙宇和富丽堂皇的宫殿,它们至今仍吸引着世界各地的旅行者。1565年亨比被穆斯林攻占,抢掠达6个月之久,最终城市被洗劫一空,毁于一旦。"
