About this place

Near Kamalapura on Hampi's southern edge, the Pattabhirama Temple is one of the largest and best-preserved temple complexes in the city, built in the 16th century under Achyuta Deva Raya and dedicated to Rama as Pattabhirama, 'Rama enthroned'. A tall five-storey brick-and-granite gopuram fronts the walled compound, which holds the main east-facing shrine, a pillared kalyana mandapa and a subsidiary Lakshmi shrine, all facing a large pushkarani and a now-ruined chariot street. Comparatively restrained in ornament, it rewards visitors with a real sense of scale, symmetry and calm, and it is rarely crowded.
