Hampi Sri Krishna ( Bala Krishna ) Temple - History details

Raised by Krishnadevaraya in 1513 CE to mark victory over Udayagiri, this Vijayanagara shrine honored Bala Krishna—the original idol now in the Government Museum, Chennai. Within Hampi’s UNESCO‑listed ruins, the complex shows yali‑pillars, Krishna Bazaar and Kalyani; the east gopura bears victory scenes. Today it stands as a key epigraphic and art‑historical site.
