Elephant Stables, Hampi | Tickets, History & Timings

One of the few buildings in Hampi that has not been destroyed by the Mughals is the Elephant Stables, which were used as an enclosure for royal elephants during the Vijayanagara Empire. There are eleven domed rooms visible here, one of which is especially ornate and functions as a cage for the musicians during performances. The entire building was built in the fifteenth century to house the Vijayanagara Empire’s royal elephants.
