Lotus Palace

Lotus Palace of the non-religious buildings in Hampi, probably the most photogenic is the Lotus Mahal. This graceful two-storeyed pavilion is situated in the Zenana enclosure. The palace is a lovely synthesis of the Hindu and Islamic styles of architecture very different from the awesome magnificence of Hampi's temples. The palace with recessed archways, the vast Elephant Stables, the Mahanavami Dibba and so on, gives a glimpse of the past glory of the kingdom.
