We went to Hampi and the surrounding area with a guide. The ancient temples were very impressive. A lot of monkeys. Go in barefoot only. You can leave shoes nearby for safekeeping for money (business😂). An elephant lives inside. He spends most of his time in the "stall". Sometimes they take her out, you can give her any paper money, she takes it with her trunk, then puts her trunk on her head. The temple itself is very beautiful. There is a very beautiful river below the temple.

The Virupakshi Temple is highly revered by Hindus and is dedicated to the God Shiva, and is also the largest and oldest temple in the history of Hampi. It existed even before the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire in 1565. It is said that the mentions go back to the iivth century. In the temple itself, as in many Asian countries, you need to walk without shoes. I strongly recommend taking socks with you for this purpose, so that you can safely throw them away and not worry about how many people trampled on these stones before you. Lakshmi, an elephant, lives on the territory, helps the owner to earn a living, there are a lot of people who want to take pictures with her. We arrived at the temple at dawn. It is located in a picturesque place. From the top of a small mountain at its foot, you can watch the dawn, the awakening of life, listen to music coming from the temple, and watch the monkeys.
