Identify the main feature of Hazara Rama Temple from the given options:

The sculpture panels on the walls include scenes from Ramayana.

The correct answer is Option (2) → The sculpture panels on the walls include scenes from Ramayana.

Given Options:

Option 1- The hall in front of the main shrine was built by Krishna Dev Raya. (TRUE about the Virupaksha temple, not Hazara Rama Temple)
Option 2- The sculpture panels on the walls include scenes from Ramayana. (CORRECT)
Option 3- Krishna Dev Raya constructed eastern gopuram. (TRUE about the Virupaksha temple, not Hazara Rama Temple)
Option 4- Programs of dance, music and drama were held in the hall of the temple. (TRUE about the Virupaksha temple, not Hazara Rama Temple)

EXPLANATION:

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. While many of the structures at Vijayanagara were destroyed when the city was sacked, traditions of building palatial structures were continued by the nayakas. Many of these buildings have survived.
