Post checking in our cottage and having a sumptuous English breakfast at the Chill-out cafe, we moved out to wander in ruined city.
Mythology says, There was a day, when Ganesh's stomach was about to explode since he stuffed a lot of his favourite meals.
Tying his stomach with a snake was the last resort he had.
Hence is the design of this unique 8-feet tall idol.
People here believe that, when a coin tossed opposite here, falls in the water, your wishes come true!
Yes, the inner portions of the shrine are filled with water. Apparently it is said that no one can go in during the monsoons.
But, you wouldn't want to miss out on this beautiful place.
From Hospet, you'd find many Rickshaws at approximately Rs. 100-150/- pp to drop you off at any place in Hampi.
So, we traveled by Road, took an A/C Sleeper Bus from Pune, which dropped us at Hospet on the second day early morning.
Pattabhirama Temple is a stunning shape that stands within the ruined metropolis of Hampi. It is located at Kamalapur at a distance of 6 km from the principle historical past web site of Hampi. The temple is known for its complex architecture. It is devoted to the Hindu deity, Lord Rama.
Located at the base of Hemakuta hills, this monolithic statue is believed to be one of the biggest in the world.
