Answer: The town of Hampi in southern India appeals to the kind of travelers willing to go 12 hours out of their way for something different. I'm one of them. It's worth the trip for the setting itself. An azure sky meets undulating hills covered with red granite boulders. Abandoned monuments dot the landscape, the remains of the ancient metropolis of Vijayanagara, the center of a Hindu empire that existed from the 14th through the 16th century. The ruins – ornately engraved palaces, temples, stone chariots – sprawl over hundreds of square miles around Hampi. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the center of town, there's Virupaksha temple. The bells still call Hindu worshippers to this 15th century temple. Inside, pilgrims line up with an offering of coconuts or rupees for Lakshmi, the temple elephant, who returns the favor with a blessing and a tap of her trunk on their heads. Musicians play devotional music on a stone pavilion, and tour guides lead small groups through the sacred chaos. This is what archeologists call "Living Heritage," an ancient monument still being used by locals. The same was true for the Hampi Bazaar. My tour book promised a thriving 400-year old marketplace full of restaurants and guesthouses. Instead, I found bulldozers leveling hundreds of cement homes and shops, most of which had been built over the past 60 years. The air was thick with dust. Locals stood around and watched, stunned. A few used sledgehammers to pry valuable steel rebar from the wreckage. Viru Pakshee, a tour guide here, stood outside his home watching a lurching bulldozer approach. The front half of his house had already been torn down.
