Summary
[edit]DescriptionSTONE AQUEDUCT-Dr. Murali Mohan Gurram (2).jpg |
English: The whole of Hampi is crisscrossed with a network of irrigation canals of varying size. Connecting everything from temples to palaces to tanks to quarters to the agricultural lands, many of them were made during the Vijayanagara days. A good number of them, especially the ones run along the valley area, are still in use.
The major canals made by the Vijayanagar kings are the Raya Canal (King’s canal), Basavanna Canal (Nandi or Bull canal), Turthu Canal (Fast Canal) and the Kamalapura water tank. All of then are still in use (for agricultural irrigation of the near by village fields). Local folklore have it that it’s at Turthu Canal that Rama did the last rituals to his father. You cross this canal near the Lakshmi Narasimha statue on the way from Kamalapura to Hampi. Inside the Royal area you can see a number of stone aqueducts connecting 20 or so wells and ponds. Most of it is in the ruined stage, but you can still see the sophistication of the water supply system. The giant aqueduct located at the north bank of Tungabadhra at Virupapur Gadde is remarkable. Most of the large canals are lined with pa path along its course. It’s interesting to take a bicycle ride along the bank of these canals, as a nice way to feel the village life going on around it. Most of them are many kilometers long going into far places away from the regular tourist spots.courtesy hampi.in
