History
The Virupaksha Temple has a rich history dating back to the 7th century. Initially a small shrine, it was expanded under the Vijayanagara rulers, particularly during the reign of Krishnadevaraya. The temple complex suffered damage after the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire but was later restored. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience and architectural brilliance, attracting tourists and pilgrims from all over the world.
