1367
Under Bukka Raya I, the Hindu empire of southern India expanded its capital at Hampi into a monumental city of granite temples, bazaars, and irrigation tanks spread across a boulder-strewn landscape on the Tungabhadra River. Hampi's Vittala Temple, with its musical pillars and stone chariot, became the empire's architectural crown.
