Hampi in Karnataka, India is a popular tourist destination. In fact it has so much to offer that a number of tourists miss out on some excellent places for want of time. One should keep 5 full days, if not more, in Hampi.
Oneimpressive but rarely visited site is the office of the Deputy Director of Archeology in Kamalapur. A number of fantastic images have been put on display in the compound of this office. There is no ticket and one is free to take photographs.
I spent some time in this compound three months back and here are a few photos taken by me there:
