India, Karnataka, Hampi – Achyuta Raya Temple (00:06:02)

The temple is dedicated to Lord Tiruvengalanatha form of Vishnu, it was constructed by a high officer in King  Achyuta Raya’s court  and hence his name for the temple. The temple complex and the market which is in ruins sits in a semi made valley by the two hills the Gandhamadana and Matanga Hills. The two main ways to reach the temple are, one from the Kodanda Rama Temple or Kings Palace path which enters the Couteseans street and leads to the main tower of the Achyuta Raya Temple. Another route to the temple is to climb the steps near the Nandi (Bull) at the east of Hampi Bazaar, this is the easier and faster way to the temple.
