Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the capital of which empire?
Vijayanagara Empire
Hampi is located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in present-day Karnataka and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its temples and ruins.
It served as the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, which flourished from the 14th to the 16th century and was one of the greatest empires of South India.
The Maurya and Gupta empires were centred in northern India, and the Mughal capital was at cities like Delhi and Agra, so they are not associated with Hampi.
Hence, Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire.
