Hampi - Krishna Temple





The Krishna Temple is in the Hampi Bazaar area. I was the only person there in the early morning sun. It was unique in that some of the upper decoration was still in pretty good shape. The lower part of most of the temples was carved stone, and if it had not been carted off, it remains in good shape. The upper parts, above twenty feet, looked like it was brick under work, covered with plaster. Most of this brick and plaster construction had not survived in most of the temples.
