After the Ugra Narasimha and Badavalinga temple, the Krishna Temple was the last stop before lunch on day 2. The "sculpture fatigue" has started to set in, just like it had on reaching Kom Ombo in Egypt. (Click here for detailed description of the temple)
The temple has a typical colonnaded bazaar culminating into a pavillion called Pushkarni in the middle of a lake,
The temple has an imposing entry and was built by Krishnadevaraya after the successful campaign in Orissa and victory over the Gajapatis. The temple has been hastily - finished, like many others in Hamp - with stress on structural cleanliness than aesthetics.
Three beautiful woman sculptures in the temple: The semi nude shy woman, the apsara at the entrance and the shapely huntress
