About
The Hazara Rama Temple was the private royal chapel of the Vijayanagara kings, situated in the heart of the royal enclosure at Hampi. It is famous for its extensive bas-reliefs detailing the Ramayana epic on its outer walls.
The name 'Hazara Rama' refers to the 'thousand Ramas' carved into the temple structure. It also features finely polished black basalt pillars inside the main mandapa.
