The Sacred Center of Vijaynagar runs along the south bank of the Tungabhadra River. Opposite this, along the north bank of the same section of the river are a set of dispersed monuments and sites, including a pool known as Pampasarovar, a hilltop pilgrimage site called Anjaynadri, the Anegundi fort and Anegundi village. I only had time to visit Anegundi village and the monuments immediately around it. Anegundi probably existed as a local stronghold before the city of Vijaynagar was established and built.
