Hampi is purely magical. My four day trip to Hampi was amazing, four days are not enough to explore it's beauty, they say there are several numbers of Musical pillars in Hampi, the main ones are in the Vitthala temple complex. The guide shown me few of them, then I started discovering more Musical pillars by myself. I spent almost a day finding pillars that produce music. This pillar is from the Achyutaraya Temple complex, I found this particular pillar produce best tonal variations.

Update:
This is not Alien technology

According to 'Shilpa Rathna Ajithagamana' – a Kannada language literature of Vijayanagara period, these pillars are made by Casting method.

1. Rocks were melted into liquid form.
2. Sand and other minerals were mixed into the molten rock.
3. Molten rock poured into the shape of the pillars, then cut and carved carefully.
4. These pillars were installed meticulously in presence of musicians during night, in absolute silence.

these pillars are mainly categorized into two different types:
1. 'Sthri Shile' which resonates like Veena and other string instruments.
2. 'Poon Shile' resonates like percussion instruments such as Tabala, Mrudanga etc.

The book also mentioned how Rangamantapa at Vijaya Vittala Temple, Viroopaksha temple and various other temples were built. Definitely not aliens, but epic craftsmanship of ancient Hindus.

  • Thankyou so much gentleman for giving a real-time glimpse of this marvellous architecture. Amazing are the notes as the grandeur of the place. Shukriya! 😊😊
  • It is awe-inspiring, the acoustical properties of all ancient temples and megaliths. Our ancestors knew a great deal about frequencies and devine nature. We only begin to understand the healing factors of certain frequencies and vibrations to the human body. The power those vedic mantras had when sounded within these acoustic amplifying temples must have been profound!

    ASI - Please record the video, play to show this magical piece of architecture and put a fence across the musical pillar, otherwise after some years people may damage it
  • It's all physics the vibration of these pillars depends upon the elasticity ( material ) of the stone used and its density.

    sounds like a hollow sandstone, but looks more like granite, this is beyond me
