A large, ancient public bath in Hampi
The Queen's Bath, located in Hampi, Karnataka, is a large, ancient public bath that dates back to the 16th century. It is believed to have been built during the reign of King Krishnadevaraya, who ruled the Vijayanagara Empire from 1509 to 1529. The bath is a testament to the engineering skills of the Vijayanagara Empire and is a popular tourist attraction in Hampi. The structure is built in a U-shape and features a large bathing area surrounded by a series of steps and platforms. The bath is fed by a system of canals and pipes that bring water from a nearby lake.
