Route 1: Covers the Sacred Center surrounding the Virupaksha Temple vicinity. Start from the Sasivekalu Ganesha pavilion on the slops of the Hemakuta Hill facing the main road. This is on the south end of the hill. Climb up further (it’s a gentle slope) to explore the Hemakuta Hill Shrines in a south to north direction. (there are many temples and gateways to see here). Exit the Hemakuta Hill through a massive, incomplete tower on the northern slops. You’ll reach the main entrance tower of Virupaksha Temple. After Virupaksha Temple visit take the Hampi Bazaar and come towards the Hampi Bus stand area. Head further south on the main road. The Kadalekalu Ganesha and Sasivekalu Ganesha shrines appears on your left, by the slops of the Hemakuta Hill. Now you are back to the point where begin this walk. You may pick up your bicycle/moped parked before venturing on to Hemakuta Hill, and head for the Krishna Temple and the Krishna Bazaar located southward. After this head further south till you spot the signboard for the Lakshmi Narasimha Temple and the adjacent Badavilinga shrine. Take a detour by walk (bikes/mopeds not allowed). Back to the main road. Head further south. The road makes a bend around the Chandikesvara Temple and the living Uddana Veerabhadra Temple. You’ll also spot a tall monolithic lamp-post by the corer of the Chandikeshava Temple and a sati stone (memorial of wife who burned herself in the pyre of her dead husband) beneath it. So this is the culmination of your sacred center lap. You can now head for the cluster 3, that is the Royal Center cluster. This itinerary starts at Sisters Stones, which is about 500 meters/0.3 mile south. You may even do the Route 1 in reverse direction, that is start from Chandikeshava Temple and end at the Hampi Bazaar/Virupaksha Temple locality.In this case you can proceed for the Route 2 or Route 5
