In the little stories theme this is the beautiful Hampi Bazaar. It just so happens that I love decay, and hate shopping, and detest haggling for things even more. This scene extends for some 200m between two of the temples. The local story is that the shops were built illegally inside extensive stone religious structures. These are in the process of being restored, but make for a much improved Hampi. Some users of older guidebooks may be disappointed by this. But really, what use is a soap stone carving to anyone.
