It is very beautiful and huge monument. At the entrance there is watch tower. From there in ancient time in the emperor there were keeping watch on the empire. If we make sound, echo will be produced. And inside there is one small mosque. And there too echo sound is produced. It is just amazing experience. There is pend minar too. It feels great when we visit this kind of place's. May be i feel like the watch tower was used to give azaan so there is echo sound produced. Really amazing and awesome monument..
This is a group of Buildings known as Mohammaden Quarters. It is heartening to know that Vijayanagar Empire, which is known as Hindu Empire didn't hesitate to employ Mohammadans in their Army, giving them their due positions. This shows the Cultural finesse of our Ancestors of earlier years which is even unthinkable in the present modern world.
One of the most beautiful monument in Hampi but most of the tourists are not noticing this beautiful building.
This is near to Zanana Enclosure. Rarely visited place. There were no security around, we could go to the top of the watch tower
This is the largest and most detailed of all watchtowers among the Hampi ruins. Over looking the Noble Men's Quarter, the primary intent of the watchtower was to guard the Danaik's Enclosure. This is the first structure you would notice at the Danaik's Enclosure on approaching from the Underground Temple. Mohammadan Watch Tower heralds the northwest corner of the Danaik's Enclosure. A balcony of the watchtower projects to the mud path that passes around the corner. However you need to go through the entrance of the Danaik's Enclosure wall at the north to access the watchtower. Watch Tower A narrow stairway at the south gets you to the top floor. The domes made of rock and plastered together are of interest. The projecting balconies are decorated with supporting corbel brackets (seen from outside). The ruins of the remaining two watchtowers of this enclosure are located at the southwest and the northeast corners of the compound.
Central asian or Persian style watch tower can be seen.
The best place in the Karnataka for trekking and the place for good spending
Great temple. I bought special darshna tickets for it otherwise you may not even see inside if the place is crowded. We did feed fishes as well in the pond there.
My partner and I went for full body massage at the SIDHA Ayurveda spa, and we both had a completely amazing experience. My partner had a massage from Sunil and I was massaged by his female colleague. This was the best massage of my life! Sunil and hi
