Once a city demolished by the invaders, you can still find the leftovers of the monuments lying amiss, Hampi has now become a prevalent tourist place. This is not only because of the pastoral charm of the city or the amount of history it grasps but also because of the temples in the lap of Hampi. Hampi has a very prevalent temple trace in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/south-india-tours\/\">South India<\/a> and is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each of these temples is delightful and splendid in its own way. Among these temples, there is one temple that genuinely endured the test of time and has become a sign in the geography of Hampi which is <strong>The Virupaksha Temple.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Virupaksha temple is one of the most breathtaking temples in India and was built in the 7<sup>th<\/sup> century, which is located next to the tranquil Tungabhadra River. Every new ruler in the region has added his touch to the temple, making it unique. The temple is devoted to Lord Shiva. This temple was firstly a small shrine which then developed under the clutch of the other rulers, especially under the Vijayanagara rulers. In the era of Vijayanagara ruling the art and culture blossomed which is reflected in the Virupaksha temple. The art and culture are embedded in each corner of the Virupaksha temple. Some final touches and renovations were made in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century which made this temple even more cherishing and what it is today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#significance-of-virupaksha-temple\" >Significance of Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#origin-and-history-of-virupaksha-temple\" >Origin and History of Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#architecture-of-virupaksha-temple\" >Architecture of Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#celebrations-and-festivals-at-virupaksha-temple\" >Celebrations and Festivals at Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#how-to-reach-virupaksha-temple\" >How to Reach Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#reaching-by-rail\" >Reaching by Rail:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#reaching-by-road\" >Reaching by Road:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#reaching-by-air\" >Reaching by Air:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#best-time-to-visit-charges-and-timings\" >Best Time to Visit, Charges and Timings:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/virupaksha-temple-hampi-karnataka\/#tourist-places-near-virupaksha-temple\" >Tourist Places near Virupaksha Temple:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"significance-of-virupaksha-temple\"><\/span>Significance of Virupaksha Temple:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Virupaksha temple is dedicated to the Lord Virupaksha.

Also, the old name of Hampi is \u2018Pampakshetra\u2019 and refers to the Tungabhadra River which is called Pampa.<\/p>\n<p>A small and simple shrine was built during the Chalukyan and Hoysala periods for the Virupaksha. This small temple was further expanded and artistic stone works were added in the time of the Vijayanagara empire. This small shrine grew bigger with various gopuras and pillared halls under the reign of King Deva Raya II.<\/p>\n<p>While consequent attacks of Vijayanagara by empires from the north demolished most of the Vijayanagara Empire and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/hampi-tours\/\">Hampi<\/a> many parts of the majestic Virupaksha Temple were luckily undamaged. The damage of Hampi in 1565 didn\u2019t put an end to the devotional group of Pampa and Virupaksha. To date, the temple is worshipped. There were wide renewals done in the early 19<sup>th<\/sup> century that included the addition of paintings, pillars, and towers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trending\">\n<div class=\"trending-title\"><strong>Suggested Itineraries for Karnataka:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"list-tag\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/3-nights-4-days-hampi-tour-package.html\">3 Nights 4 Days Hampi Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/3-days-hampi-temple-tour-itinerary.html\">3 Days Hampi Temple Trip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/3-days-hassan-temple-exploration.html\">3 Days Hassan Temple Travel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/2-night-3-days-karnataka-jain-temple-tour.html\">3 Days Karnataka Jain Temple Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/6-nights-7-days-karnataka-trip-itinerary.html\">7 Days Karnataka Travel Package<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/tour-packages\/6-nights-7-days-karnataka-kerala-tour-package.html\">7 Days Karnataka &amp; Kerala Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"architecture-of-virupaksha-temple\"><\/span>Architecture of Virupaksha Temple:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-41242 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Architecture-of-Virupaksha-Temple-Hampi-Karnataka-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Architecture of Virupaksha Temple Hampi Karnataka\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Architecture-of-Virupaksha-Temple-Hampi-Karnataka-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Architecture-of-Virupaksha-Temple-Hampi-Karnataka-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Architecture-of-Virupaksha-Temple-Hampi-Karnataka-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Architecture-of-Virupaksha-Temple-Hampi-Karnataka.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Virupaksha Temple is perhaps the oldest and the impressive structure of Hampi which is a standing witness of Indian temple architecture.
