Heavy rains over the last seven days and rumours of tremors have dampened the plans of tourists visiting the ruins of Hampi.
Hampi's historic sites, including Vijaya Vittala temple, Krishna temple, Purandara Mantap and Rama Devaragudi, are completely flooded. They cannot even visit the Kamal Mahal, Purandara Mantap and Gaja Shale now.
"Officials are keeping visitors away from these sites because they fear some of the historic monuments that are in dilapidated state may collapse," said a visitor, who was refused entry on Saturday.
