Anegundi Potters' Village
Anegundi, Koppal, Karnataka · South India
An older settlement across the river from Hampi, where clay, banana fibre and stone are still worked by hand.

- The village is older than Hampi itself and much quieter.
- Community-run homestays return income directly to households.
