The Vitthala Temple in Hampi is one of the most iconic
and architecturally magnificent temples in India,
dedicated to Lord Vitthala (a form of Lord Vishnu). It is a
part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Hampi and
reflects the grandeur and craftsmanship of the
Vijayanagara Empire. The temple is known for its intricate
carvings, musical pillars, and the famous stone chariot.
The 56 musical pillars, known as the SaReGaMa pillars, are
one of the temple’s most fascinating features. When
struck, these pillars produce different musical notes, a
result of the way they were carved and resonated sound.
While these pillars are now restricted to prevent damage,
they remain a testament to the technological and artistic
advancement of the period.
