264. Anjaneya Temple on Hemakuta Hill, Hampi

Hemakuta Hill in Hampi is popular for the Trikutachala (cluster of three) style temples. There are hundreds of monuments like temples, mantapas (pavilions) scattered on the hill.

There are two functioning temples here, one is Virupaksha Temple and the other is Anjaneya Temple. The later one is very small almost on the summit of Hemakuta hill. The Nag Champa (Plumeria) tree beside the temple makes a great scene during sunrise and sunset.

  1. my eye was actually caught by the tree just outside the temple- it looks so 'artistic' in nature....it has a rugged type of beauty which calls to me as I look at it.
