HASIRU HAMPE in Kannada means Hampi which is green, it is for sure not Hampi in ruins. Every stone around this place tells a story of the lore, prosperity of the past era. The characters appearing in this book are the commoners of the then Karnataka Samrajya. A farmer, a soldier, a housewife, a priest, a sculptor, a merchant and a spy etc...narrates the stories of their lives under an extraordinary king named Sri Krishnadevaraya. The Glory of the Kingdom and the Greatness of the king emerges through the narration of these commoners tales, covering the wide array of administration, trade, architecture, Dharmik Parampara, Dasa Parampara, enormous size and strength of the warrior forces all combined together transports you to the unbelievable richness of that time. Each Character comes alive right in front of your eyes while one is spellbound by the intensity in story telling.
