    History

    Built in the 15th century during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire, the Vijaya Vittala Temple stands as a testament to the empire's architectural prowess and artistic finesse. It was built under the patronage of King Krishnadevaraya, the greatest ruler of the Vijayanagara dynasty. The temple complex was expanded and enhanced over the centuries, with contributions from subsequent rulers. After the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire, the temple fell into disuse and ruin. However, it has since been restored and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    A beautiful place of ancient history and the very famous stone chariot present on ₹50 notes. A very large temple complex with lot to explore. One can spend hours admiring the stone craftsmanship of the early days! No personal vehicles allowed near the temple, however there is a battery vehicle service available at the start. A cafeteria and clean washrooms are present at the starting point.
