Explanation:
Hampi: An Architectural Splendour
Hampi is a village in northern Karnataka. It was located in the ruins of the city of Vijayanagara (once the capital of the the Vijayanagara Empire).
By archeological findings, we know that the city was well fortified but no cementing material was used for binding the bricks or stones, rather they were wedged together by interlocking.
Surat and Trade
The city of Surat was cosmopolitan as people of all castes and creeds lived there. During the Mughal period, Surat, Cambay (present day Khambhat) and later Ahmedabad carried out trade with the west.
It was also called the gate to Mecca as the pilgrim ships set sail from here.
In the 17th century, the Protuguese, the Dutch and the English set up their factories and warehouses in Surat. Textile industry of Surat has been famous for its Zari Work (intricate art of weaving threads of fine gold and silver) and has a market in West asia, Africe and Europe.
Masulipatnam
The town of Masulipatnam is located on the bank of river Krishna.
In the 17th century, the English and the Dutch East India Companies tried to control the town as it became the most important port of the coast near Andhra Pradesh.
The Golconda rulers established royal monopolies on the sale of the textiles, spices etc. to prevent the various East India Companies to control them completely. But due to this competition between the Golconda nobles, Persian merchants, Telugu Komati Chettis, and European traders – made the city populous and prosperous.
