Set amidst the majestic ruins of Hampi, this immersive experiential journey transports students into the heart of the Vijayanagara Empire—where architecture becomes storytelling, temples become scientific marvels, and every stone reflects the vision of a civilization far ahead of its time. From exploring sacred temple trails and the musical pillars of Vittala Temple to analyzing royal urban planning and experiencing the cultural rhythm of Hampi Bazaar, students journey through the intersection of history, physics, economics, engineering, and art. Designed through the Crazy Holidays Experiential Learning Framework™, this programme transforms heritage into inquiry, exploration into perspective, and history into a living experience.
