The Saraswati Temple is situated in the district of Bellary in Hampi. Hampi is at the heart of the city Vijayanagara, which is in a dilapidated state. Hampi is a hugely renowned site, and it is registered as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
The temple is mostly in ruins now but has its old world charm. The shrine, sanctum, canopy and the pavilions are better in condition than the rest of the structure. Beautiful sculptures are still found on the pillars. The crawling baby Krishnaβs carving is seen on the tower of the temple. The temple is devoted to goddess Saraswati who is the goddess of intelligence, understanding, knowledge and wisdom.
This temple was built during the 13th century in Vijayanagar style and is located nearby an octagonal bath in the midst of the ruins. If the tourists are inquisitive enough then they might take a closer look at the pillars which expose plasterwork on their stone pillars with some remains of stucco images. The art and architecture of the temple can be well understood if the visitor can walk towards the path between the canal and the temple.
