The Virupaksha Temple complex of the 7th century, an active Hindu temple in the territory of the Vijayanagara Empire, Karnataka, India. It is a very picturesque and interesting building. Lakshmi, an aged elephant, lives in the temple.

We went to Hampi and the surrounding area with a guide. The ancient temples were very impressive. A lot of monkeys. Go in barefoot only. You can leave shoes nearby for safekeeping for money (business😂). An elephant lives inside. He spends most of his time in the "stall". Sometimes they take her out, you can give her any paper money, she takes it with her trunk, then puts her trunk on her head. The temple itself is very beautiful. There is a very beautiful river below the temple.

Original, interesting, but only with a guide. It's better to watch it in the evening. There is a fairly large area around the temple. At the entrance to the territory of the temple complex, shoes are removed and left in special cells. Tourists!!!! Put on your socks!!! Very, very dirty for a barefoot hike! On the territory of free residence: monkeys, dogs, cows, elephants. Hindus can sleep right on the square and cows can shit right there.

The temple is interesting for its elaborate stone carvings. Many consider it to be the oldest temple in India. It is amazing how stonemasons managed to carry out a huge amount of work in those distant times. There is a legend that two columns in a temple made of black stone are able to immerse a person who touches them into a state of meditation. But there were no such miracles during the visit.

very beautiful. the temple is functioning, everyone is allowed in. In the courtyard, an elephant attraction will bless you for donating 10 rupees.
