Question

how can you say that hampi was an administrative as well as temple town

Answer 1

The construction of walls in the well-fortified city was done using a technique in which they were wedged together by interlocking. No mortar or cementing agent was used in this construction. The buildings in the royal complex had splendid arches and domes. They had pillared halls with niches for holding sculptures. The orchards and pleasure gardens were well-planned with sculptural motifs like the lotus and corbels.
