Malyavanta Raghunathaswamy

Another Heritage temple in the royal ruined city of Hosepet, Hampi, this was built in the Dravidian Style. As the name suggests, the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu whose other name is also Lord Raghunatha. The interesting and unique feature of this temple are the fish and marine creatures carved on the outer walls of the whole temple. The first name Malyavanta is probably kept after the name of the dynasty during whose reign this temple was built.
