Vijaya Vittala Temple, Hampi

"Wonderful Temple Complex and an architectural wonder"

       Built in 15th century AD the Vijaya Vittala Temple is a rich architectural temple that serves as one of the important places to visit in Hampi. This temple has an expansive campus which consists of several other Hampi temples, pavilions and halls. This temple as its name suggests is dedicated to Lord Vittala who was one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Lord Vittala is believed to be like an ordinary person and is worshipped by the cattle herds.


         Situated northeast of Hampi, Vijaya Vittala Temple is dedicated to Vittala, an aspect of Lord Vishnu. With the most extravagant architecture and exceptional craftsmanship, the temple is the main attraction of Hampi. Words fail to explain the elegance, grandeur and the splendor of the temple. The sprawling campus of the temple resembles a town featuring many halls, gateway towers, pillared pavilions and compound wall.


          One of the main attractions of the temple are its marvellously created pillared halls that reflect true wonders of architecture along with a gigantic stone chariot which also serves as another major attraction of this place.
