STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE,World Heritage Committee1986- Inscription of the Group of monuments of Hampi on the list of World heritage List.The austere, grandiose site of Hampi was the last capital of the great Hindu
kingdom of Vijayanagar. Its fabulous rich princes built Dravidian temples
and palaces, which won the admiration of travelers between the 14th and
16th centuries. Conquered by the Deccan Muslim confederacy in 1565, thecity was pillaged over a period of six months before being abandoned.
Imposing monumental vestiges, partially disengaged and reclaimed, today, make Hampi one of the most seizing ruinsof the world.

REACTIONS OF THE STATE PARTYThe Observer of India expressed his Governments appreciation to the Committee for its concern over the state of conservation of
Hampi.
.. the protection of the extraordinary site of Hampi, the result of centuries of interaction between man and nature, was no easy
task. However, the Observer underlined that the integrity of Hampi, comprising approximately 40 kilometers of villages, banana fields,
rice paddies, the river, rocks and monuments, must be preserved.
The Observer informed that the problem of preservation of the archaeological remains was a classic example of the conflict be tweenheritage conservation and development, and that innovative solutions would have to be found in solving this problem. the construction of the two bridges had been halted.
the inscription of the site on the List of World Heritage in Danger would strengthen the capacity of the Archaeological Survey
of India and the State Government of Karnataka in their efforts to safeguard this unique site.
.. for assistance to ensure the integrity of the site.

cosntraint of space, heritage elements, difference in
height levels.
Construction of by pass road is underway.
Reservation with the location and design of the

RECOMMENDATIONSBenchmarks to be more holistic, should reflect all problems of sites rather than focus on one problem.. Need to check all aspects andpotential / future threats. A check list, specific to sites, to monitor all parameters. More problem solving then focus towards
enhancement of the status.
Mission targets to be more realistic based on an understanding of the local socio-political, socio-economic and socio-cultural issues.Benchmarks to be reviewed qualitatively and quantitatively.Measurement exercise over a scale. From the macro level to the micro level. An issue like a bridge or dam or any other activity overthe 40 sq kms of heritage zone will affect the outstanding values of the site or are they applicable to the core area of the site. The
complexities of the management of the site over such an area are large.
Consider Living heritage sites as in Hampi Issues are different then mere physical, mechanism to understand the ground realities(presently only through discussions with groups).
Should set a vision with short term and long term projects Set- time frames as certain solutions can be only accomplished over aperiod of time and not on annual basis.
