Monolithic Bull

In India, you will always find a statue of a bull at a Shiva temple and similarly, in Hampi, Virupaksha Temple, which is dedicated to Shiva, has an enormous monolithic state of a bull (Nandi). The distance of the temple entrance from Nandi statue is 1 km, and in between, you will notice many shops type structure, which is "Hampi Bazaar." The view of the whole temple complex from Nandi bull statue is stunning and forces you just to imagine how glorious was this kingdom of Vijayanagara, which created a correct fusion of religion, commerce, and strength. Though today, only the ruins of the empire is visible on the surface, still Hampi is an iconic attraction of India and has also been awarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So, if you haven't visited Hampi, as per me, you haven't visited India. You can also check more images of Hampi, at my Instagram a/c, marked as #JatininHampi
