The Monolithic Nandi, carved out of a single stone with detailed carvings especially on its rear, would probably cause any other tourist to turn around, as it does not come across as a very promising gateway. However curious people or lost tourists, who have ventured into the beyond would enter into a whole new magical world. This hidden city neatly tucked into a valley concealed by ample boulders is an isolated and little known part of the ruins of the Vijayanagar Empire. It houses the Achyutaraya temple, situated atop the hill, overlooking a vast area wherein a large area is flanked by pillars on either sides, assumed to be a marketplace during the Golden Era of the Vijayanagar Dynasty. The other Half of the valley comprises of an intricately built temple with carvings similar to its other counterparts, which are the Vithalla Temple, the Viupaksha Temple and the Krishna Temple. However, due to minimal restoration, the carvings here seem more authentic than the ones in the other temples, being more intricate. The outer wall of the temple depicts a lot of water flowing out. The inner walls too have carvings representative of water, perhaps highlighting the importance of water. The pillars in the temple have intricate carvings of the incarnation Lord Vishnu and the importance of the Narasimha, believed to be another incarnation of Vishnu, is highlighted in the recurring sculptures of he Narasimha. Despite the little damage done by the restoration by bringing out random statues found from that era and lacing them where the idol was not originally supposed to be, this place seems like the ideal meditation ground without any idols, much like the Lotus Temple in New Delhi. However, one must ensure to carry a map of sorts before visiting this maze meets Jurrasic Park to avoid getting lost in this place.
