Steps to serenity. Pushkarni, Sri Krishna Temple, Hampi, Karnataka

The ancient city of Hampi's architectural brilliance is displayed in the Pushkarani water tanks. These beautifully designed tanks, with their perfectly laid stone steps, were crafted to make access to the water easy. These tanks have deep cultural significance and are highly revered. Historically, Pushkaranis were built for ritualistic temple practices or as royal amenities during the Vijayanagara Empire. In Hampi, almost every grand temple has one tank, serving both spiritual and functional purposes. The Pushkarani in front of the Sri Krishna Temple, seen in today's image, is one of the most elegant and accessible tanks here.

The structure's symmetry showcases the skilled craftsmanship of its time. Beyond the ceremonial significance, it served as a vital resource for the community, providing water for public use. Dedicated to Bala Krishna, the infant form of Lord Krishna, this temple is a treasure trove of history and architecture. With intricately carved pillars and a grand sanctum, it continues to attract travellers and history buffs alike.
