About Statue of Ugra Narsimha

Prepare to be awestruck by the massive Statue of Ugra Narsimha at Hampi! Carved in 1528 AD during the reign of Krishnadevaraya, this monolithic sculpture depicts Lord Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion incarnation of Vishnu, seated on the coils of the seven-headed serpent, Sesha.

Though partially damaged during the Deccan Sultanate's invasion in 1565, its power is still palpable. The original statue had Lakshmi seated on his lap, but she was destroyed in the war.

Notice the intricate details on Narasimha's face and the expressions of the serpent heads, showcasing the incredible skill of the Vijayanagara artisans. This 6.7-meter tall masterpiece is a testament to the grandeur and religious devotion of Hampi, making it an absolute must-see! Don't forget your camera!
