Virupaksha Temple located in the city of Hampi, India is part of the Unesco World Heritage site of the “Group of Monuments at Hampi”. This temple started out as a small shrine and grew to be the last capital of the Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagar. Look out for our next article on Vijayanagar as the next chapter in #vintagecities While it is believed that the temple has been functioning uninterruptedly ever since the small shrine was built in the 7th century AD, it became popular among travellers between the 14th and 16th centuries. The largest entrance tower of the temple is 50 meters high #virupakshatemple #vijayanagara #vintagetemples #temple #architecture #templesofindia #incredibeindia #hinduism #buddhism #incredibleindia #vintage #history #kings #royalty #wondersoftheworld #worldrecord #indianhistory #ancientarchitecture #ancientindia #templesoftheworld #photography #photograph #vintagestory #unescoworldheritage #unesco #unescoworldheritagesite (at Virupaksha Temple Hampi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCi1WWCAv7b/?igshid=1k1g9z03s376q

Ayodhya at one time was a melting point for Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Jainism!!! On the banks of the Sarayu River lies Ayodhya, an ancient city known as the birthplace of Rama. The birth spot of Rama was marked by a temple, which is said to have been demolished by the orders of the Mughal emperor Babur and a disputed mosque erected in its place. The kingdom of ancient Kosala had Ayodhya as its capital, with the city being an important trade centre. Historians have also identified Ayodhya to be Saket, a key Buddhist centre from 5th century BC. Treta ke Thakur, Guptar Ghat, Gulab Bari and Mausoleum of Bahu Begum are some of the historically significant sites in this city. #ayodhya #ram #rammandir #vintagetemples #vintagecity #temple #architecture #templesofindia #incredibeindia #hinduism #buddhism #incredibleindia #vintage #history #kings #royalty #wondersoftheworld #worldrecord #indianhistory #ancientarchitecture #ancientindia #templesoftheworld #photography #photograph #vintagestory (at Ayodhya श्री राम जन्मभूमि) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCggJjtAwBZ/?igshid=1o6cvilul5gdb
