A glimpse into Vijayanagara architecture
The journey begins at Antarala Ardha Mantapa and Maha Mantapa, the two divine halls where simplicity meets grandeur. It’s built alongside the mystical inner sanctum known as the Garbha Griha. Although the temple's idol has journeyed elsewhere, the remnants, like the stone pedestal where it once stood, are true wonders. As you walk inside, you are transported to the early Vijayanagara period. The architectural marvels like the towering single-stone column and ancient slabs narrate tales of construction. Ganagitti Temple promises a journey through time you won't soon forget.
Beyond the sacred walls
Hampi offers an abundance of enriching experiences. Head out on an adventurous hike through Ganagitti Jain Temple's rugged terrain and take in its natural splendour at every step. Experience birdwatching first-hand by engaging in birding activities. Listen to the melodies of Crimson Sunbirds, Black-Headed Orioles, Rose-ringed Parakeets, and White-breasted Kingfishers as they fill the air.
Find peace as you meditate on temple grounds, where the gentle breeze and birdsong provide a relaxing symphony for the mind and soul. Capture the breathtaking landscapes surrounding the site, or engage in yoga practices in this peaceful retreat.
