This 64 pillar structure located on the banks of the Tungabhadra in Anegundi.
The mantapa is believed to be the tomb of Krishnadevaraya.

The mystery Of this structure still persists, Where historians are still in the stage of conflicts regarding the history of this structure as there are no clear inscriptions about the emperor and his chief minister Thimmarasu’s graves, and only belief by the locals.

I visited Hampi, East-central Karnataka in May 2018 for the Heritage structure-ruins as they still stand against forces of nature, exhibiting the art of the ruling dynasties of the time. This beautiful structure stood amidst of Tunga-Bhadra River at Anegundi, abandoned.
