Medieval India: An Imperial Capital: Vijayanagara

Question:

In which temple of Vijayanagara, the scenes from Ramayana have been sculpted on the inner walls of the shrine?

Options:

Vitthala Temple.

Virupaksha temple

Lotus Mahal.

Hazara Rama Temple.

Correct Answer:

Hazara Rama Temple.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - Hazara Rama Temple.

In the Vijaynagara empire while most temples were located in the sacred centre, there were several in the royal centre as well. One of the most spectacular of these is one known as the Hazara Rama temple. This was probably meant to be used only by the king and his family. The images in the central shrine are missing; however, sculpted panels on the walls survive. These include scenes from the Ramayana sculpted on the inner walls of the shrine.
