    The Queen’s Bath in Hampi is a colossal bath that exemplifies the architectural excellence prevalent during the days of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is located close to the entrance of the Royal Enclosure in Hampi. Constructed during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire, the Queen’s Bath impresses visitors even today, more than 500 years after it was built. The Queen’s Bath is a rectangular building. The structure has an area of 30 square metres. A large sunken bath constructed in the centre of the structure has an area of 15 square metres and a depth of 1.8 metres. The bath is surrounded by beautiful arched corridors having pillars and projecting ornate balconies with windows. Each arched bay surrounding the bath is decorated with intricate carved stucco ornamentation on the ceilings and the vaults placed above the arched bays. There are stone steps that lead down to the floor of the bath. However, there is no ceiling over the bath and it is open to the sky. For more information check out Alemari_vss on instagram

    Queen bath is one the historical places to visit if you are in hampi. It takes only 10 min to see around but if you understand the architect amd design of this place then it looks more fascinating. Timing: 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on all days Entry Fee: No entry fee required Constructed by Achyuta Raya for the women of the royal family of Vijayanagara. Its a rectangular building. It is believe that cannel around the building was made to prevent intruders you can enter through one gate only. Inside pool is connected with fresh source water and is open to sky.

    My visit to the Queen's Bathhouse in Hampi was nothing short of a royal immersion into the architectural grandeur of the Vijayanagara Empire. This ancient bathing complex, tucked away amidst the captivating ruins, exudes a regal charm that transports visitors to a bygone era. The Queen's Bathhouse is a masterpiece of Vijayanagara architecture, characterized by its elegant design and meticulous craftsmanship. The rectangular pool, surrounded by a cloistered veranda, showcases the empire's commitment to both functional and aesthetic excellence. The intricately carved arches and ornate balconies are a testament to the empire's sophisticated taste.

    Queen's Bath is a structure built in Vijayanagar era in Indo- Islamic style. It is a square shaped structure with Corridor. The bath area is around 6 to 7 feet deep with water inlets. The water is supplied from the canals that run around the building. It also has eight balconies, two on each side, projecting into the bath. The entrance to the structure is from right side. It also has steps to reach the terrace but it is closed for general public. The structure is cool and very Picturesque.

    Built during Vijayanagar rule, it was built in indo-islamic style. The water used to let in using the canals. The guide will tell yu about the place. It says that 2 of kings wife used to have swimming competition between them and from the galleries the other girls used to cheer them up. The roof of the place is destroyed during the attack and now the place lies in ruins. Even though it tells about the royal life during the Vijayanagar rule.

    This is the queen's bathhouse which is the bath place for the queen's. The place is close to the royal palace. The water used to be filled to the brim from the Tungbhadra River. The water was scented with Roses and Jasmine. The lawns around here are well maintained. It is recommended you visit this during the golden hours as this place lights up beautifully during this time.

  • 4/5 Pravin G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is an ancient private bath chamber (swimming pool) used by royal kings and their wives of the Vijayanagara empire. What is fascinating to know about this place is the ancient canal system used to facilitate the flow of water in the bath chamber and another canal to take out the used water. Do hire a guide to know all these interesting details.

    This is the first ruined structure you would see when you enter into the Royal center from the Kamalapura-Hampi main road. For some mysterious reasons this was called as the queen’s bath. But in all probability this was a royal pleasure complex for the king and his wives. It’s a bit an assuming plane rectangular building from out side. But when you get inside, the story is different. The whole building is made with a veranda around facing a big open pond at the middle. Projecting into the pond are many balconies. An aqueduct terminates in the pond. The balconies are decorated with tiny windows and supported by lotus bud tipped brackets. The whole pool is open to the sky. This brick lined pool is now empty. But it’s believed once fragrant flowers and perfumed water filled this bathing pool. At one end of the veranda you can see a flight of steps giving access to the pool. The domical roof of veranda is a spectacle itself. Just go around the veranda looking at each dome, as they are designed in asset of unique style. Also on the floor of the empty pool you can spot some sockets probably meant to support the pillars that were part of a canopy. The whole building from inside looks like some ancient indoor aquatic complex. Queen's Bath Outside around the building is a big water cannel encircling the building. You need to cross that at some places where a bridge like structure is made. Probably this was designed to prevent intruders from walking into the place where the royal women folks took bath!

    An impressive and ornate structure that stupifies visitors more than 500 years after it was built. Located quite close to the Royal Enclosure, it is believed to have been got constructed by Achyuta Raya, the king as a private nathing chamber for himself and his queens. The simple exterior and it's façade basically conceals the ornate architecture of its interior, which is different from any other public or private bath, of which there are several in Hampi. The bath is about 6 feet deep, rectangular in shape, and is surrounded by pillared pavilions and a walkway. Steps lead down into the bath & the ceiling is open to the skies. The water is supplied through an aqueduct and the building is surrounded by a moat.

    The royal life is always rich in splendor and architecture. This is the bath place of the queen's in royal family. There is a moat around the place. Then two stories hall on all the four sides. Water used to bed brought from Tungabhadra through stone viaducts. Sometimes the maid issues to poor the water from first floor. There is also a separate room for dress changing. The water first child three most then the water overflows into the pond within for walls. All the square half around the pool are having different architecture above them and not similar to others.

    Oh boy…. What a luxury and what style… with great engineering planning. Water coming from the nearby reservoir which is filtered and then taken in bath tank. The trenches surrounding the building are for storing the water. After the bath, proper drain conduits are visible to empty the tank. The bath house is very well decorated with stone carving.

    Must visit place .. whats a technology in ancient ages and how luxury it was. It's a luxury swimming pool when the science is not most modern.

    We visited a group. I didn't personally liked the place but ofcourse it is made up very scientifically. We were just there for 10-15 mins here to explore the site. During sightseeing one can visit this place too in Hampi.

    Queens Bath in Hampi is an enchanting historical site that offers a glimpse into the royal lifestyle of the Vijayanagara Empire. The elegant stepped tank surrounded by intricate carvings and the remnants of a palace nearby create a mesmerizing atmosphere. While the name suggests a bathing area, it's believed to have served a more ceremonial purpose. The architecture and detailing speak volumes about the craftsmanship of that era. However, visitors should note that the site is quite weathered and needs preservation. Overall, Queens Bath is a captivating destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Hampi.

  • 4/5 Shivi R. 5 months ago on Google
    Bathing place for the queen's of Vijayanagar empire. Very nicely restored. Entry and parking is free and there is ample space to park cars. Expected time to see the monument is 30 - 45 minutes. If you go along with the guide, he could explain the drainage system and how water was brought to the place from a nearby lake. This is a key attraction of Hampi

  • 5/5 Aniket K. 1 year ago on Google
    Situated near the Royal Enclosure but with its own separate entrance, the Queen’s Bath looks quite unattractive from the outside: unadorned high walls surround it on all sides, and it’s not until you actually step in—across what used to be a moat but is now dry—that you see how beautiful this might have been in its heyday. The Queen’s Bath is a square structure with a sunken pool (dry now) in the middle; surrounding it are pillared corridors with oriole windows (‘jharokhas’) jutting out into the central bath. Water used to come in through inlet pipes (which can still be seen) and would drain out through holes along the edges of the bath. A wooden platform with a ceiling used to stand inside the bath, and the surrounding corridors, screened off by silk draperies, used to function as dressing rooms. This monument is very pretty, the Indo-Islamic architecture here is worth a look, with its domed ceilings (each domed ceiling has a different pattern). It's a very photogenic place, the pictures come out looking really royal.

  • 4/5 Dinesh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Queen's Bath structure has a very plain exterior but the interior must have stunningly ornate with graceful arched corridors, projecting balconies, and lotus shaped fountains once upon a time and not now. In fact it was used to spout perfumed water for ladies of the court.

  • 3/5 shubham g. 2 years ago on Google
    It is exactly as it's name suggest,remains of the old bathroom for the queen in the old ages. If you like to visit old places you will like the place. My personal recommendation would to hire a guide who would help you to run through the history for the place.
