HAMPI LOTUS MAHAL EXACT REPLICA

Experience a unique blend of Islamic and Indian architecture styles at your home with a true-scale 3D printed replica of the Lotus Mahal, located in Hampi, Karnataka, South India. The central dome of this structure is carved as a lotus bud. Because of its resemblance to Lotus, this Mahal is also called the Kamal Mahal or Chitrangani Mahal. The curves and arches follow an Islamic architecture style, while the multi-layered roof design is prevalent in the Indian style of buildings. The Lotus Mahal is ideal as an ethnic Indian gift / a heritage memento. This comes packaged inside a protective box to ensure ease of delivery and increased durability. It has been digitally recreated from 3D data using complicated 3D modelling techniques and has been printed in PLA – a biodegradable plastic, using additive manufacturing. This process has ensured the accuracy of the replica. The laser scanning of this famous monument complex was done as part of a prestigious digital heritage project of the Indian government. Lotus Mahal, the magnificent building, is placed within the Zenana enclosure in Hampi – a segregated area that was used by the royal women of the Vijayanagara dynasty.
