| The Chandrashekara Temple also known as Chandikesvara temple dates from the 16th century. It was built during the period of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is known for its Dravidian style of superstructure over the sanctums and the entrance. The beautiful temple is dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Vishnu. It is one of the prominent temples in Hampi and is visited by a large number of tourists throughout the year. Like numerous other structures in Hampi, the Chandikesvara temple showcases the Vijayanagara style of architecture. It stands within a small compound and has a big hall situated at the front of the structure. The most interesting part of the templeââ¬â¢s architecture is the richly carved pillars standing in the front hall. Each pillar has been crafted out of huge stones in an impressive manner. The pillars depict several themes from the Hindu mythology and are a treat for the visitors. The temple has two shrines located inside its compound. |
