Pattabhirama Temple Complex, Hampi
Also known as Pattabhirama Mandir
The Pattabhirama Temple Complex, 2 km south of the Royal Centre at Kamalapura village — a 16th-century Vaishnava foundation dedicated to Rama in his pattabhiseka (coronation) form. The 100-metre gopuram, the double-mandapa approach and the surrounding colonnaded Kamalapura Bazaar together form the largest Vijayanagara temple complex outside the central city. The temple was patronised by the women of the royal household, including the queen Chinnadevi, and functioned as the chief Rama shrine for the kingdom's southern suburb.
