Stepped Tank
A beautifully engineered stepped water structure in Hampi's royal area.
About Stepped Tank
The stepped tank is one of Hampi's clearest examples of sophisticated water management. Its geometric design and carefully cut stone steps provide a striking contrast to the surrounding boulder landscape and are best appreciated as part of the Royal Enclosure circuit.
