Hampi Utsav 2024 Program List
One of the biggest festivals of the former Vijayanagar empire is Hampi Utsav, or Hampi festival, also called the Vijaya Utsav. The Virupaksha Temple hosts annual celebrations honoring the customs and culture of a bygone era. Performances of folk music and dance showcase the rich culture of this area against the stunningly sculpted ruins of Hampi.
More than a religious holiday, Hampi Utsav is a celebration of traditional customs and nostalgia. As a result, there is no set calendar date for its celebration. There are three days of festivities. But because it’s a state-sponsored cultural event, the festival is arranged at the time that the Karnataka government thinks is most appropriate.
