Hampi: A City of Victory, a Realm of Gods

Hampi, the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, is a place where history whispers through the ruins. Once a vibrant metropolis, renowned for its wealth and architectural marvels, it now stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to the rise and fall of empires. The Virupaksha Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva in his form as Virupaksha, has stood for centuries, witnessing the ebb and flow of time. Legend intertwines with history in this sacred space. The very stones seem to hum with the tales of gods and goddesses, kings and queens, and the everyday lives of the people who once called this city home. It is believed that Shiva married Pampa in this region, sanctifying this place for ages to come. To own a piece of Hampi is to hold a fragment of this rich tapestry of time.

Mysore Wooden Inlay: A Legacy of Craftsmanship

The Mysore wooden inlay technique, used to create this stunning panel, is a centuries-old art form passed down through generations of artisans. This intricate process involves meticulously hand-cutting pieces of different types of wood, ivory (historically), and other materials, and then carefully embedding them into a base of rosewood. The result is a seamless, intricate design that captures the essence of the subject with remarkable detail and a rich, warm palette of natural hues. This panel is a perfect blend of artistry and reverence, inviting you to connect with the beauty of Hampi and the legacy of Mysore's master craftsmen.
