It’s sunshine yellow, is inspired by retro pop art and is arguably the best Hampi souvenir you can wear!<\/p>\n
For Go Heritage Run – Hampi’s T-shirt we decided to truly\u00a0make heritage fun<\/em> by comic-ifying Hampi’s landmarks, using\u00a0primary colors with the style of comic book imagery from the ’50s. We were specifically inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s tongue-in-cheek art and use of Ben-Day dots. Representing Hampi’s hundred-year old and thousand-year old landmarks \u00a0using a relatively recent artform, we think, is\u00a0a unique\u00a0lens through\u00a0which to appreciate\u00a0Hampi’s architectural wonders. Look closer and you’ll spot runners making their way through Hampi – just as you will when you run in Hampi<\/a> later this month.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The stone chariot is\u00a0on every\u00a0tourist’s must see\u00a0list – it’s one of three such chariots across India and was built by King Krishnadevaraya, one of the greatest rulers of the Vijayanagara Empire over 500 years ago. The Ugra Narsimha – the largest statue in Hampi – is \u00a0an\u00a0animated yet terrifying representation of Narsimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnnu. Designed in the shape of a lotus bud, the Lotus Mahal in Hampi is another of Hampi’s architectural\u00a0wonders and is imagined to be a palace where the Vijayanagara royals socialized. The Virupaksha Temple, built as a shrine to Lord Shiva is over 1300 years old and is one of India’s oldest functioning temples.<\/p>\n You’ll spot all these landmarks on your Go Heritage Run – Hampi T-shirt – book yours when you register<\/a> for Go Heritage Run – Hampi or at our online store in case you’ve already signed up.<\/p>\n
