Hampi’s Most Sacred Spot? 🛕 The Truth about Chintamani Math & Rama Pada

🛕 Hampi Day 1: Exploring Chintamani Math & The Secrets of Kishkindha! 🐒🏹 Welcome to Hampi! Our first stop in this ancient empire was the mystical Chintamani Math in Anegundi. Located on the northern bank of the Tungabhadra River, this is where history meets the epic Ramayana. 📜 Why Chintamani Math is a Must-Visit: This isn't just a temple; it’s a site of massive spiritual significance. Known as the heart of Kishkindha, it’s believed to be the spot where Lord Rama met Sugriva and Hanuman for the first time. The Rama Cave: We explored the cold stone cave where Rama and Sugriva held their secret meetings to strategize the battle against Vali. Rama’s Footprints (Rama Pada): We saw the exact spot marked by footprints where Lord Rama stood, aimed his arrow, and killed the monkey king Vali. Sri Krishnadevaraya’s Samadhi: Just outside on the riverbank lies the final resting place of the greatest king of the Vijayanagara Empire. 🌊 The Anegundi Experience: Anegundi is often called the "Mother Kingdom" because it is even older than Hampi itself. The vibe here is peaceful, rustic, and filled with spiritual energy. Getting There: We took a scenic drive from Hampi (about 20km) via the bridge, but you can also take a Coracle Ride across the river for a more traditional experience! Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon to enjoy the cool breeze from the Tungabhadra River. 📍 Itinerary & Timings: First Stop: Chintamani Math & Shiva Temple Complex. Key Sights: Rama Cave, Rama Pada, Rudrakshi Mantapa, and the Tungabhadra riverfront. Entry Fee: Free! (Donations welcome). Location: Anegundi, North Bank of Hampi.
