Shree Badavilinga Gudi, Hampi - History details

Hampi’s largest monolithic Shiva‑linga (~3 m) sits in a roofless chamber kept perpetually wet by a channel—symbolic of Ganga descending through Shiva’s matted locks. Local lore credits a peasant woman commissioning the linga during the Vijayanagara era; it stands beside the famous Lakshmi Narasimha monolith.
