The image shows the Hampi sacred center, the urban core and royal center, as well as the spread of Vijayanagara metropolis suburbs around the urban core. Archaeological surveys and excavations have located Vijayanagara ruins from Gangawati in northeast to Hosapete in southwest. For example, the Anantashayana Gudi is found in Hosapete. Many residential areas were closer to the urban core.

According to scholars, Vijayanagara was the second largest city in the world, after Beijing, in early 16th century. The city was destroyed in 1565 CE and most of it remained in ruins since then.
