Pattabhirama Temple

The emple is about 0.8 kilometres to the east of Kamalapura. Though it contains two inscriptions of King Achyuta Raya, its date is not clearly determinable. The various parts of the temple complex are contained within a large rectangular enclosure (163m X 93m). The God's sanctum with its axial mantapas is situated in the centre of the courtyard. A pillared colonnade runs along the inside of the wall round the courtyard. The tall five0storeyed east gopura is in a bad state of preservation.

The east-facing sanctum is a tri-tala vimana with an antarala, ardha-mantapa and maha-mantapa. The large and square maha-mantapa is a finely proportioned seven aisled structure with tall and slender composite pillars of various types. To the east of the ardha-mantapa is the usual covered pradakshina-prakara enclosing the garbha-griha and the antarala.

The Pattabhirama Temple, which is as large as the more ornate and grandiose Vitthala Temple, is also as impressive as the latter, though it is simpler and less ornate.
