Built in 1534 AD, the Achyuta Raya Temple is one of the major temples in Hampi. This temple is also known as the Tiruvengalanatha Temple, after the main deity, a form of Lord Shiva and was one of the last temples built during the Vijayanagara Empire. Sandwiched between Gandhamadana and Matanga hills, the temple, however, lies predominantly in ruins now as a result of attacks on it by the Bahamani Kingdom.
It has modern architecture in comparison to the other temples of Hampi. Many carvings here depict mythological legends, seen on pillars, walls and monolith blocks.
