Introduction:Join us as we explore the hidden layers of Hampi that most tourists never see. While millions visit the famous Vijayanagara Empire ruins, few know about the ancient mythological sites connected to the Ramayana that lie just beneath the surface. Based on Nagendra's personal journey to discover Anjaneya (Hanuman's) birthplace and the sacred spots where Rama, Sugriva, and Vali's epic stories unfolded, this podcast reveals how a landscape can hold both medieval history and ancient mythology simultaneously. From climbing 575 steps up Anjaneya Hill to finding the cave where Vali fought demons, we uncover how these 6,000-year-old stories are still alive in the very rocks and hills of Hampi today.
