Explanation:

Hampi is located in the Krishna-Tungabhadra basin, which formed the nucleus of the Vijayanagara Empire, founded in 1336.The magnificent ruins at Hampi reveal a well-fortified city. No mortar or cementing agent was usedin the construction of these walls and the technique followed was to wedge them together by interlocking.Hampi fell into ruin following the defeat of Vijayanagara in 1565 by the Deccani Sultans – the rulers of Golconda, Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, Berar and Bidar.
