Pattabhirama Temple
A large Rama temple near Kamalapura, with a hall of a hundred pillars and a towering gateway in excellent condition, and very few visitors.
The Pattabhirama Temple was built in the 16th century on the eastern side of Kamalapura, not far from the Archaeological Museum. It is the most important temple in the southern 'outskirts' of Hampi. The complex is grand, with a high eastern gateway inside two enclosure walls, an intact main shrine, and a large pillared hall with 64 stone pillars carved with mounts and deities. Because it lies off the main route, it sees few visitors, and it is easy to soak up the atmosphere of the ruins in peace. Entry is free, and it is a good stop if you are cycling in the area.
