# 9999 :: hampi gateway


hampi, karnataka, india. dec 2007.
krvia 4th yr : jindal steel factory visit.

one of the many gateways that dot the hampi-sites, this one still serves its original purpose: that of serving as a gateway. strangely, a 500 year old gateway has the perfect clearance for a 48-seater bus to pass under it. the crossing of the gate by the bus, was a mini-event in itself; with less than an inch of clearance between the bus-top and the lintel, the helper had to step out to direct the driver, 10 questioning heads popped out from either side, and we held back the traffic for a good 5 minutes...
btw, if your ever planning to visi hampi, then www.hampi.in, managed by a hampi enthusiast from south india, deserves a few clicks.
