Elephant Stable
I have seen first elephant stable of my life in Hampi itself. This structure has got a long line of 11 chambers, dome like structure with arched doorways which opens up in an open large space to have this royal animal. This magnificant structure again represents the incredible work done in the era of Vijayanagar emperors.
Badavi Linga
Badavi Linga is a huge shiva linga of approximately 10-12 feet. It is located in a chamber with its one side open. Chamber is partly filled with water as the water channel has been made to channelize through it.
There is a very interesting story related to this shiva linga.
The story behind this linga is that there was a old poor lady. She had no means to survive. She asked the king to help in making her living, but the king denied to help her for free. He asked the lady to do some work and in return he will arrange her food and other necessary amenities. Then, this lady spent the rest of her life in making this shiva linga which is known as Badavi, it means poor in local terms.
Krishna Temple
The temple was built by the ruler Krishnadevaraya in the 16th century.
Apart from Yalis, ten incarnation of Lord Vishnu can also be seen here.
Hazare Rama Temple -
Many important events of Ramayana are carved into stones here.

Its Very Nice...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's nice and informative. Just one feedback, when you mention the place like 'Tourist Places, Hampi', it would be more informative if you mention the location, like State, so people get know know where it exists in place of google again to search where is 'Hampi'.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thanks for your feedback. Actually This is my 8th Post on Hampi and in my previous post including "A Memorable Experience to Hampi" I have given all details about Hampi. Although, I will try including all the details as mentioned by you in my future posts.
