Hampi Utsav, the festival of Karnataka jubilates the cultural revue of the city. This is celebrated for three days in the month of November. Hampi a perfect international tourist site stages the monumental days of the Vijayanagar Reign. The artistes of the city execute dance and music performances, which directly pictures the wonderful culture of the place. One of the best traditional states which I admire the most is Karnataka.
The Raja Marga nearby to the Virupaaksha Temple looks splendid with the decorations exactly like the Vijayanagar Kingdom. This Hampi Utsav attracts the tourists from all over the world; the tourists enjoy the festive atmosphere with the music of pipes and drums played throughout.
Now let me point out a few parts of the event which I really enjoyed when I took part.
Puppet Shows exhibiting the richness of the golden era (Vijayanagar Era) and the brightly colored Handicrafts enlightened me with the artistic flavour of the ancient Vijaya Kings.
Men of the city dressed in Yellow, Red, Blue and White personifying the Vijayanagar Militants forming Gopuras along the lanes of Hampi, is such a sight which seemed an arm and a leg to me.
Classical ragas sung by exceptionally talented singers and the folk songs sung by the natives was so fetch that awe – inspired me.
Stop to shop at Hampi when you are in need of accustomed stuff. I tell you I was all over the shop till I dropped.
I heard that the specialty this year would be the Elephants marching majestically at the Hospet Town called “Jumbo Savari”.
Don’t wait for the grass to grow under your feet, Join the fest and create memorable moments in Hampi.
