In this 8th episode, we explore popular places to visit in Hampi, Achyutaraya Temple, Underground Shiva temple, Monolithic Bull and also foothills of Matanga Hill.
Achyutaraya Temple:
Achyutaraya Temple is one of the important places to visit in Hampi and is a major attraction in Hampi tourism.
Built during 1534 AD by Achyuta Deva Raya (Younger brother of Krishna Deva Raya) devoted to Tiruvengalanatha, a form of Vishnu.
Achyutaraya Temple is an example of Vijayanagara style temple architecture in its most advanced form than any other temples in Hampi. This was one of the last grand temple projects executed in the capital, before the fall of the empire.
Achyutaraya Temple is in ruins as a consequence of the attacks by the monarchs of the Bahamani kingdom and by the forces of nature over several centuries.
At the northwest corner of the outer compound, Kalyana Mandapa (marriage hall for the annual wedding ceremony of the God and the Goddess)
Underground Shiva Temple:
Also known as the Prasanna Virupaksha temple, this structure dates back to the 14th century AD.
This temple dedicated to Lord Siva was built many meters below the ground level.
The roof of the temple is at par with the present ground level while the main structure of the temple stands on a low lying area.
Almost all the time the inner sanctum and the core parts of the temple are under water, restricting entry to the inner areas.
The temple has remained buried for over four hundred years before it was discovered in the 1980’s decade. It is believed that this is one of the oldest temples in Hampi.
Monolithic Bull:
Carved out of a single gigantic boulder, it is also known locally as Yeduru Basavanna. Located at the east end of the Virupaksha Bazaar or Hampi Bazar
