Underground Shiva Temple (Prasanna Virupaksha Temple), Hampi

Believed to be one of the oldest temples in Hampi, the Underground Shiva Temple, is one of the most mystical sites in the region. Standing amidst beautiful and lush lawns, this desolate structure is completely submerged in water. The main tower is visible at the entrance where as the inner chambers of the temple are under water. A water canal that goes through this region adds to the beauty of the landmark. It is only possible to check out the outer sanctum underneath the main tower while further excess is restricted. Less known and less crowded than other temples, it is still a worthy place to explore.
