En la mañana fuimos al rio a ver bañar la elefanta del
templo. Traen la elefanta desde el
templo hasta el rio, ella se hecha a morir y la gente de la region y los
turistas la empiezan a estregar con cepillo en mano… aparentemente le gusta!
Luego tomamos un tour en bicicleta que nos mostro varios de
los sitios historicos cerca a Hampi, visitamos el grupo de templos Hemakuta,
Templo de Krishna, Bazar de Krishna, Templo Lakshmi Narasmiha, Templo
Badaviling, Templo Prasanna Virupaksha (templo debajo de la tierra de Shiva),
Lotus Mahal, Establos de Elefantes, Palacio de verano de la Reina, Templo Madhava
(Ranga), Acueducto, Tanque de agua, Mahanavami Dibba and Templo Hazararama.
El tour nos ayudo a decifrar porque hay areas del pueblo que
estan desocupadas o destruidas. Lo
que en algun momento fue el antiguo bazaar, fue ilegalment ocupado por gente de
la region por mucho años (80 o 90 años); pero como esta region fue declarada
por la UNESCO como Patrimonio Historico, el gobierno decidio sacar a toda la
gente de ahi y rehubicarlos. Sin
embargo, todas las paredes que la gente construyo fueron tumbadas, pero los
escombros todavia no los han recogido y esto hace ver el pueblo como un lugar
de guerra. En el pueblo tambien
han destruido hoteles y restaurantes que fueron construidos ilegalmente.
En la tarde estuvimos viendo los niños jugar en el rio.
Volvimos al mismo lugar a ver el atardecer, estuvimos
conversando y tomando fotos con las niñas que venden el te.

In the morning we went to the river to see the temple’s
elephant taking a bath. The keeper
brings the elephant down to the river, she lays on the river and locals and
tourists start scrubbing her… apparently she likes it a lot!
Later we took a bicycle tour around Hampi, we visited the
Hemakuta group of temples, Krishna Temple, Krishna Bazaar, Lakshmi Narasmiha
Temple, Badaviling Temple, Prasanna Virupaksha (underground Shiva) Temple,
Lotus Mahal, Elephant’s Stables, Queen’s Summer Palace, Madhava (Ranga) Temple,
Aquaduct, Water tank, Mahanavami Dibba and Hazararama Temple.
The tour helped us understand why there are areas in town
that are vacant or destroyed. What
used to be the ancient bazaar was illegally occupied by local people for many
years (80 to 90 year); however this is a UNESCO Heritage site, so the
governement decided to kick them out a couple of years ago. The walls that were built by the people
had been torn down, however not much of this debris have been taken away and it
makes look the town like a battle zone.
They are slowly working on the reconstruction of the ancient bazaar, however
it will take many years to get it in decent shape.
Late in the afternoon we went to the river to see the kids
playing in the water.
In the evening we went back to the same place to see the
sunset. We talked and took
pictures with the girls that sell tea.
