Treballa amb nosaltres

Dating from the 14th century, Hampi is a place of devotion where the cults of Siva and Vi??u were practiced and at the same time a fortified city center of royal power, both a place of pilgrimage and the capital of the Vijayanagara empire. History marks this ambivalence in the name of the site. As a whole, it has always been called Hampi. In the 14th-15th-16th centuries, the kings added a larger city to the already large site and named it Vijayanagara City of Victory .

Hampi is a remarkable and admirable site. The geological environment imbues the space with a magical atmosphere and its majestic monuments carry a wealth of iconography.

Galerie Hioco's passion for Asia is expressed primarily through the Paris-based art gallery specializing in ancient sculptures from India and Southeast Asia, but also through a philanthropic project that is close to their hearts, aiming to publish reference works on major but undocumented sites in India. This project was motivated by a visit they made in 2015 to the site of Khajuraho. Disappointed to find no recent monographs on these major temples, they decided to publish with us a book on this Khajuraho site in 2017 and another on the Ellora Caves in 2020.
