Hampi as Kishkindha
Popular
A UNESCO ruin city doubles as a monkey kingdom.
Hampi is famous for the Kishkindha chapters where Rama and Lakshmana meet Hanuman and Sugriva; regional tradition identifies the two, not settled fact. The Tungabhadra was once called Pampa; Matanga Hill, Sugriva's cave and Malyavanta Hill (Raghunatha temple) are on the site. IRCTC says Anjaneya Hill is believed to be Hanuman's birthplace.
