Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the capital of which empire?

This question was previously asked in

RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (17-Sep-2026) (Shift 1)

Vijayanagara Empire

Maurya Empire

Mughal Empire

Gupta Empire

The correct answer is

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.
