Hampi
Utsav
The Hampi utsav is a recreation of the grandeur of that era, of the
glory that was Hampi. The Dussehra festivities of the Vijayanagar
kings were celebrations of great religious fervour and were held with
incredible pomp and show. Today, it is that same ecstatic outpouring
feeling that magically revives a bygone splendor and brings alive
the ancient city. Dance, drama, music, fireworks, puppet shows an
unforgettable Varity of folk artistes and their traditional skills
are on display.
Shops do brisk business with rural artifacts. Colour, gaiety and excitement
follow the long and spectacular processions which wind their way to
the sounds of pipes and trumpets.These Utsav are beingheld on 3/4/5
th of November every year. All the important monuments are illuminated
during important days. |
