Exploring the Underground Shiva Temple in Hampi

#favouriteitinerary The Underground Shiva Temple (also known as the Prasanna Virupaksha Temple) is located in Hampi, near the Vijaya Vittala Temple. It is one of the unique temples in Hampi due to its subterranean nature. The temple is partially submerged and built in a way that gives it an “underground” feel. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is relatively less crowded compared to other temples in Hampi, which makes it a quiet and serene place to visit. The temple is known for its historic charm, and its location adds to its mystique, as it is partially enclosed by the surrounding rock formations. The temple’s water tanks and the surrounding architecture contribute to its peaceful atmosphere, making it a hidden gem for those exploring the ruins of Hampi.
