This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Laidback glory

India Today December 19, 2008

The ruins of the glorious Vijayanagar Dynasty are now heritage spots and quaint trails. Hemakuta Hill holds breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Hampi is also the backpacker’s delight. The openair restaurant Under the Mango Tree is aptly located under a mango tree. For souvenirs, there’s the quaint but charming town of Anegundi.
