Stone Chariot at Hampi, Karnataka, India

 

The chariot was built by King Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagara Empire during the 16th century. The chariot is meant to represent the beauty and artistic perfection of the craftsmen in Hampi . The chariot is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site .

Inspired by the Dravidian style of architecture, the chariot is a colossal structure which shows the skill of the earlier craftsmen and architects. The beauty of the chariot lies in the fact that it looks like one solid structure but in fact, has been built by slabs of granite whose linkages have been cleverly hidden with artistic designs.

The base on which the chariot rests depicts beautiful mythical battle scenes in intricate detail
