India is a country of festivals. While the colours of Holi are still in our mind and body, we have started preparing for Ramnavami. A festival which has its marks all over India as the foot marks of this legendary prince is scattered from North to South.
Today’s Hampi, in Karnataka which is a backdrop of the Kishkinda Kand of Valmiki’s Ramayana, as the land of monkeys. It is the place of fearless Hanuman, where he met Lord Ram. Even the famous coalition with Sugriva along with his monkey army took place. Lord Ram was accompanied by warrior monkeys to win the battle against Ravana to free wife Sita.
Hampi has shadows of this epic infact in every nook and corner. It is believed that the first time Hanuman and lord Ram had met was in Rishyamukh Hill. The famous Kodanda Ram Temple is the place where Ram had crowned Sugriva. Today it is one of the popular tourist spots. The temple has 15ft tall idols of Ram, Sita, and Lakshman. It also has a statue of monkey King Sugriva.
Adjacent to this is the Anjanadri Hill is believed to be the home of famous Hanuman. The beauty of this gigantic hill is that it is viewed from every part of the city. This is certainly a notable place for the travelers.
Hampi offers us a fascinating unification of mythology and geography as well. If we look at the present map of Hampi then we could realize this was the place where one time prince of Ayodhya must have gone to the other side of the river for his beloved wife Sita.
Like every place, today’s Anegundi name also was marked by the 14th century Vijayanagar Empire. It was a place of elephant stables and in Kannada ‘Anegundi’ refers to ‘Elephant Enclosures’. So the place discovered its new identity with a new name.
So visiting Hampi is a must in this vacation to revisit the Kishkinda Kand of Ramayana.
