Come join us in this video to take a look inside the grand ancient Virupaksha temple. This temple was built ages back between the 6th and 7th century A.D. and has remained fully functional continuously for several centuries to this day. The Virupaksha temple is an iconic structure at Hampi with a towering gopuram or entrance which is also one of the most ornately designed structure. Several dynasties from south India contributed towards the enhancement of this temple through several centuries. It is one of the oldest structure in Hampi. Lord Shiva is known by the name of Virupaksha here and Parvati as Pampa. The popular story is that Pampa Devi got married to Lord Virupaksha here. Hence till date many wedding ceremonies are organized inside this temple complex. Lastly we did not forget to meet Laxmi the elephant - the star of Virupaksha temple who blesses everyone who goes to her with the soft touch of her trunk.
