The art and culture of Vijayanagar
The rich kingdom of Vijayanagar is often presented as the last stronghold of ancient Hindu culture,.wiped out by Islamic invasion in the 16th century. We will examine the royal buildings at Hampi, the lively temples that survive there and throughout the kingdom, and what we know of painting, ivory-carving, and textiles of the region, considering what they tell us about religious and cultural pluralism . Is not the fruitful interaction between varied cultures the source of these remarkable images and buildings?
