Sri Kodandarama Temple, Hampi
The historic temple is believed to mark the spot where #Rama had crowned the monkey #Sugriva as the King of #Kishkinda (Today's Hampi) 👑😇
Also,it is believed that Sugriva had carved the idols of #Rama, #Laxmana and #Sita from the natural boulder on the hillside.
The belief gets credence from the fact that the temple has an idol of Sugriva bowing to #Lord_Rama. This is a unique feature as temples dedicated to Lord Rama generally have an idol of #Hanuman bowing to the #Hindu deity, but not Sugriva.
The temple is situated near the river #Tungabhadra(Opposite to Chakratheertha).
