Lotus Mahal

Lotus Mahal

Lotus Mahal is Hampi's most elegant monument — a delicately designed 15th-century Vijayanagara pavilion in the Zenana Enclosure, with recessed arches that form the shape of a lotus bud, blending Hindu and Islamic architectural styles in perfect harmony. One of the finest examples of secular royal architecture in medieval India. A top Hampi photography destination. Included in the Hampi UNESCO complex ticket. The tiered arches photograph beautifully in early morning light.
