View of Achyutaraya temple from top of matanga hill.
#AchyutarayaTemple located between #Gandhamadana and #MatangaHills. The temple was established in 1534 AD by Achyuta Deva Raya and was originally named Tiruvengalanatha, but gradually it became popular by the King’s name. It is dedicated to #LordVenkateshwara.
The temple, which was the last grand creations of the Vijayanagara dynasty prior to its fateful fall, is now a magnificent example of the Vijayanagara style of architecture. It has two concentric rectangular enclosures with the main shrine located within the inner enclosure.
