Matanga Hill
Hill in Karnataka, India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matanga Hill is a rocky hill in the Matanga hill range,[1] Hampi, Karnataka, southern India. The hill is supposedly a holy land from the Hindu Ramayana epic.[2] The Matanga hill range served as a natural boundary of Hampi (Vijayanagara), which was the capital city of its namesake empire. Since the hills were a defense against attacks from outside lands, the Sangama brothers purposely put Vijayanagara there.[1]
