Hampi, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, offers a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and stunning landscapes. Travel influencer Arihant Baid recommends spending two to three nights exploring the ancient capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, including the unique Sri Koti Linga Temple, accessible by boat. Known for its 1,008 Shivlings carved into a rock, the temple is one of the many fascinating stops on a well-planned Hampi itinerary

Astro influencer Bhavesh Bhimanathani shines a light on Kashmir's revered Kheer Bhawani Temple, a sacred shrine dedicated to Maa Ragnya Devi. Nestled beneath ancient Chinar trees in Tulmul, the temple is known for its holy spring, deep spiritual significance and strong connection to Kashmiri Pandit heritage.
