Stones, stones everywhere
They look at you and stare
If you have some time to spare
Each stone has a story to share.
They stand naked and bare
Carvings so intricate and rare
On its beauty one canno't fix a fare
Nothing can match it, I swear.
Each stone carved with extra care
On which dancers and musicians flare
Statues of numerous gods glare
And the demons make you scare.
Beauty is felt in the air
If you ask me to be fair
With head held high, I can declare
Place like this you can seen nowhere.
Hampi is a World Heritage Site, the capital of Vijaynagar Empire in South India. Its most famous sculpture is the Stone Chariot. It has thousands of statues and temples spread in an area of 26 square kilometers and everything is carved out of Granite stone, one of the hardest stones.
