Stones, stones everywhere <br />They look at you and stare <br />If you have some time to spare <br />Each stone has a story to share. <br /> <br />They stand naked and bare <br />Carvings so intricate and rare <br />On its beauty one canno't fix a fare <br />Nothing can match it, I swear. <br /> <br />Each stone carved with extra care <br />On which dancers and musicians flare <br />Statues of numerous gods glare <br />And the demons make you scare. <br /> <br />Beauty is felt in the air <br />If you ask me to be fair <br />With head held high, I can declare <br />Place like this you can seen nowhere. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hampi is a World Heritage Site, the capital of Vijaynagar Empire in South India. Its most famous sculpture is the Stone Chariot. It has thousands of statues and temples spread in an area of 26 square kilometers and everything is carved out of Granite stone, one of the hardest stones. <br />CR VGA <br />Rdnr 289/7/06<br /><br />Vikram G.
