The Vithala temple is one of the main temple complexes along with the Virupaksha Temple complex, however unlike the latter it is in a state of ruins. The main temple complex houses the Stone Chariot which is one of Hampi's most identifiable/symbolic stone structure and the main temple's structure has pillars which are supposed to be produce varying music notes (closed to the public now).There are a lot of other structures around the complex which entails a bit of a walk, but you must see them. One can also walk along the banks of the Tungabhadra around this complex. We also found a friendly Boatsman who took us on a small joy ride in the river.(mind you they have circular boats over here called Coracles which look extremly flimsy).The outer shell of the complex has old structures which were once bustling markets, garrisons and some water tanks as well. Ideally visit early morning or late afternoon as the sun can get real strong during mid-day.

it is one of the best temple ruins in Hampi. The Chariot is the center of attraction with musical pillars. many people only visit the temple but do not walk to the ruins behind the temple. Sule bazaar and the Achutaraya temple is behind vithala temple.

This is the best monument in Hampi, and that's saying something. Its quite a big complex and there are about 5 different structures worth seeing.Your vehicle will go only upto the parking area. From there you have to either walk (10-15 mins) or bicycle or take a battery powered car (INR 10 for one way INR 20 for round trip) to reach the temple complex. You have to buy a ticket (INR 10 for Indians, INR 250 for foreigners). The same ticket is also valid for other ticketed monuments in Hampi. As you enter, you get the ratha (chariot) first. The chariot is constructed fo various rocks using an interlocking system. Immediately ahead of the chariot is the ancient audience cum dancing hall. The hall has some brilliantly sculpted pillars. The base is beautifully sculpted with scenes of daily life - there is one whole row around the structure with scenes of horse markets. To the left of the chariot, there is a hall with sculpted scenes from the life of Lord Vishnu/Krishna - including the Dasavatars, the Ramayana etc. This hall was built after King Krishna Devaraya had defeated the Oriyas in a war, so you can see Oriya influence here. Behind this there is another hall - and here you can experience the famed musical pillars of the temple.

Entrance fee for foreigners is r 250 but ticket is good for admission at other attractions in Hampi for the same day. The musical pillars are being restored so are off limits now. The stone chariot is quite impressive as are the other temples within the complex. The carvings on the pillars are quite impressive too. Not to be missed when in Hampi.

The ruins of the Vijayanagar empire at Hampi are the most magnificent remnants of a civilization at the height of its splendour and glory. The capital of the kings of Vijayanagar must have been more splendid than the capitals of any other empire in the past, including the Roman, the Greek and the Byzantine empires. The magnificent creations in granite defy verbal explanation, and a true lover of art and history can appreciate the peak of civilizational creation only through personal participation. Hampi is physically satisfying while spiritually uplifting. The creators of the art of Hampi were at the pinnacle of their creative genius which has found expression in the living and dynamic images they carved out of stone. The musical dance hall and the sun-chariot are beyond mortal description. They are works divined by almost celestial beings and executed by craftsmen who had no parallel anywhere on this planet. The Vitala temple at Hampi is the most magnificent of the creations of the artists. If nothing else existed in Hampi, this one complex alone would have made Hampi a centre of world art and architecture. A must see for all who visit Hampi.

Well preserved and beautiful site. The Stone Chariot is particularly stunning. Get there early to beat the never ending crowd

Seeing and being blessed by the elephant was fantastic, following her here from the river bathing. At the weekends there are many colourful morning cermemonies bringing the temple to life.
