*HAMPI - STONE CHARIOT | Hampi, Karnataka*
A chariot that never moved, but traveled through centuries! ✨
Built in the 16th century as a part of the Vittala Temple Complex, the Stone Chariot was originally designed as a ceremonial temple, not a vehicle.
From its ornate stone wheels that look like they can still roll, to the exquisite carvings and elephant sculptures – this monolithic marvel is a perfect blend of *engineering, artistry & devotion* of the Vijayanagara Empire.
Every stone here tells a story. Can you hear it?
📐 In this poster: Perspective View, Plan, Side Elevation & Carving Details for all you architecture lovers.
