Badavalinga Temple - Hampi

This is located right next to the Lakshmi Narasimha monolith.( see previous post for pics & details). This is a large 3 meters high Siva Linga - also a monolith carved out in situ out of a single rock.The large circular pedestal or yone pitha remains in a bed of water. Legend has it that it was commissioned by a poor woman. The sanctum chamber is a rock, brick & mortar structure.The water source appears to be an underground stream flowing through the sanctum. Can you spot the three eye mark in the linga in the last picture ?

  7. The Shiva Linga has been beautifully sculptured. Photograph is excellent. Seems like an imported camera from the States at the time of your visit :-)
