Kaladham / PLACE-HAMPI, India

Hampi is a monumental World Heritage precinct and living pilgrimage site where history, environment, mythology and daily cultural practice intertwine. Kaladham / PLACE-HAMPI uses archaeological imagery, photography and new media — including interactive technology and panoramic 3D photography — to present the ancient Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagara from multiple perspectives.

Located at Vijayanagar, 25 km from Hampi, it opened in 2012 as an initiative of Mrs. Sangita Jindal and the JSW Foundation. It functions as an immersive theatre of Hindu mythology tied to the Vijayanagara World Heritage site, using augmented stereoscopic panoramas and rich sound design.

Permanent Collections: 3D photographs and visuals, an aerial view of Hampi, research photographs and drawings.
