Sri Pattabhirama Temple

It's in the entrance of Kamalapur and a good example of VIJAYANAGAR architecture. The temple is huge and surroundings are calm and pleasent. The temple was closed as we visited it early at 8 AM, before it was opened.

Wonderfully constructed temple in good shape, it is worth a quick visit. It has no entry fee or guards. We took an auto around the Hampi area and he stopped here.

Its very hard to see such a elegant and majestic temple become orphan !!

Gopura, hallway , mantapas everything is so big and well planned and unfortunately everything has been turned into ruins.

I curse each and every bahamanis for this barbaric act and I am sure each one of their descendants must have had a really bad fortune because of their ancestors dirty deeds.

Pattabhirama temple The second largest temple in Hampi dedicated to Lord Rama and houses a shrine of Goddess Lakshmi. Built in the 16th century by the Vijayanagara King Achyuta Deva Raya, the temple is unusually simpler in ornamentation in comparison to the others in Hampi. The temple is situated near the newly built Tungabhadra canal. Known for its splendid architecture, The temple complex faces east towards a large Pushkarni water tank and a now ruined chariot street. However, the main entrance is now closed and the present entry is through a gate on the southern wall. The temple compound comprises of a main shrine at the center and the Kalyana mandapa to its southeast. To the north of the temple is the Lakshmi temple. The entrance on the northern wall has a domed gopuram. There are four towers in four directions of the temple - east, west, north and south gate. The main tower in the east is built with brick superstructure and granite lower portions. There are some terracotta images visible. There is also a crescent boar-dragger emblem of the Vijayanagara kings near the archway of the tower. The tall 5 storied east gopura is in a ruined state. The entire temple area is fortified by strong walls.

Neglected gem of Hampi, because of location. Magnificent, impressive and massive. It just glitters in evening Sunshine. Go before 5 pm.

Huge and a quiet place for peaceful mind :)

Huge complex with large Pillared halls and open space all around. The pillars are extremely ornate and finely carved.
Bit outside the main complex of Hampi and the location is called Kamalpura.
Parking on roadside, almost nobody around and that may be scary in the early morning and late evenings.
