Hazara Rama Temple
A royal temple at the heart of the Royal Centre, its outer walls carved with scenes from the Ramayana and festival processions.
Hazara Rama Temple sits at the center of the Royal Centre and was the king's private temple. Its name means 'a thousand Ramas'. The outer walls bear layered reliefs of horses, elephants, dancers and the Dussehra festival procession, while the inner walls and main shrine tell the entire Ramayana in comic-strip-style reliefs. Four finely carved black basalt pillars stand inside the temple. Admission is free, and the Mahanavami Platform and the Underground Shiva Temple are both within walking distance.
