I
am
giving
3
star
because
in
this
temple
only
for
Royal
can
enter.
Hazara
Rama
Temple
is
a
dominant
shrine
in
Karnataka.
This
small
but
beautiful
place
of
worship
dedicated
to
Lord
Rama
is
located
at
the
center
of
the
royal
area
of
Hampi.
The
temple
which
was
the
private
temple
of
the
kings
of
Vijayanagara
is
popular
for
the
lovely
relics
and
panels
depicting
the
story
of
the
epic
Ramayana.
It
was
built
in
the
early
15th
century
by
King
of
Vijayanagara,
Devaraya
II,
and
was
constructed
as
a
simple
structure.
It
comprised
of
only
a
sanctum,
pillared
hall,
and
an
Ardha
mandapa.
However,
later
it
was
revamped
for
an
open
porch
and
beautiful
pillars.
A
lawn
is
situated
on
the
northern
side
of
the
temples
and
two
large
gateways
lead
to
the
temple
compound.
The
Temple
which
is
a
distinctive
temple
in
many
aspects
has
obtained
its
name
from
the
multiple
relics
portraying
the
prime
deity
of
the
temple,
Lord
Rama.
The
walls
convey
the
story
of
Ramayana
carved
on
stone.
The
outer
walls
of
the
temple
are
embellished
with
bas-relics
of
Rama
and
Krishna.
The
relics
also
depict
processions
of
horses,
elephants,
attendants,
soldiers,
and
dancing
women
taking
part
in
the
Dasara
festival
rally
at
that
time.
There
are
amongst
the
most
unique
ones
to
be
found
anywhere
in
India.
The
Temple
stands
as
an
example
of
the
marvelous
craftsmanship
of
Vijayanagara’s
sculpture.
There
are
a
lot
of
monkeys
in
and
around
the
premises,
so
one
needs
to
take
care
of
their
belongings
There
are
shops
around
the
temple
which
sell
cucumbers,
biscuits,
and
mangoes
The
time
required
to
cover
is
about
1
hour
