Popular Sightseeing Places in Hampi
1. Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
Constructed in 1528, Lakshmi Narasimha Temple is renowned for its astounding statue of Lord Narasimha sitting on the coil of the seven-headed snake, Sheshnag. It is the biggest monolith granite statue in Hampi. The temple also has beautiful carvings on the walls and ceilings depicting various mythological scenes.
2. Zenana Enclosure
Zenana Enclosure was the private women’s quarters in a serene and sprawling complex. The tall-walled harem has some notable features. The structures are designed in the Indo-Islamic architecture style. It comprises the Lotus Mahal, the Basement of the Queen’s Palace, the Water Pavilion, Treasury Buildings, 2 Entrances, and 3 Watch Towers. It is believed that eunuchs guarded the place, and only the king could enter it.
3. Badavilinga Temple
Carved out of a single black stone, Badavilinga Temple is a 3-meter-high Shiva Linga that stands amidst water. It is the biggest in Hampi and is assumed to have existed since the Vijayanagar Empire. There is a 3-eye mark on it, and it is placed in an enclosed structure with a grill gate. Devotees believe that if the water level around the Shiva Linga increases, it is a sign of good rainfall that year.
4. Monolithic Bull
The Yeduru Basavanna is a massive monolithic sculpture of a bull believed to represent Nandi, the divine vehicle of Lord Shiva. It is assumed to be 500 years old and stands at the base of Matanga Hill. You can see it while hiking to Matanga Hill, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city. If you sit on the steps, visually, in a straight line, you can see the Virupaksha Temple. However, the statue is incomplete as war broke out in Hampi before its completion.
