How To Reach Lakshmi Narasimha Statue

Hampi, Karnataka, India:
Historical Context::This colossal, monolithic statue of Lord Narasimha (the half-man, half-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu) is the largest monolithic statue in Hampi, standing at a towering height of 6.7 meters (22 feet). It was commissioned in 1528 A.D. by the great Vijayanagara ruler, King Krishna devaraya. Originally, the statue was known as Lakshmi Narasimha because it featured a smaller figure of Goddess Lakshmi seated on his lap. However, the statue was tragically and severely vandalized by the Mughal invaders in 1565 A.D. during the fall of the empire. The head, limbs, and the figure of Goddess Lakshmi were broken, leaving the statue in its current, awe-inspiring, yet damaged state. The large, protruding eyes lend it a fierce look, leading to the name Ugra Narasimha (Fierce Narasimha).Restoration Effort::A small, faint trace of Goddess Lakshmi's hand can still be seen resting on Narasimha's back, a poignant reminder of the original, more serene form.:
