Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, Hampi | History Timings & photos
The largest effigy in Hampi is found in this temple, depicting Narasimha sitting atop SeshaNaag, the seven-headed serpent that serves as his sanctuary. The idols of Narasimha and Lakshmi are positioned together. Constructed in 1528 AD during the time of Vijayanagara ruler Krishnadevaraya, the statue is regarded as the largest monolith statue in Hampi. After being mutilated during the Mughals’ attack on Hampi, the figure is now kept at the Archaeological Museum in Kamalapura.
