The Vithala Temple, Hampi’s most stunning landmark, is a truly exquisite example of the luxurious building dating from the 16th century. Within the temple’s grounds is the famous stone chariot, which has become an iconic symbol of Hampi architecture.
The temple complex is spread out across a broad area. The entrance gate enters into a huge courtyard with a magnificent arch with carvings in the center and the famous stone chariot in the center.
The main temple, which is located directly behind the chariot and boasts amazing carvings, is located directly behind the chariot. There are a number of smaller temples in the courtyard as well, all of which are well worth a visit. The carvings on the walls and pillars of these temples depict a variety of gods in various shapes.
