    Describe the architecture of Hampi.  

    Answer:

             
    The towns grew around temples, because:
    (i) Hampi was a well-fortified city. There was no use of mortar nor cementing done in the construction of walls and the technique followed was to wedge them together by interlocking.
    (ii) The buildings in the royal complex had splendid arches, domes and pillared halls with niches for holding sculptures.
    (iii) They also had well-planned orchards and pleasure gardens with sculptural motifs such as the lotus and corbels.
