How was the architecture of Hampi distinctive?

✓

Answer

Architecture of Hampi was distinctive in several ways:

The Hampi was a well-fortified city. No mortar or cementing agent was used in the construction of these walls and the technique followed was to wedge them together by interlocking.
The buildings in the royal complex had splendid arches, domes and pillared halls with niches for holding sculptures.
They also had well-planned orchards and pleasure gardens with sculptural motifs such as the lotus and corbels.
