its not this structure itself but the complex of ruins which is interesting. again, without a guide, it is simply ruins. starts with the monolithic doors found during excavation, the bearings of mounting are visible at the entrance. the original structure is no more, but careful reconstruction of most of the ruins, shows a glimpse of the mighty structures that were present. the water transportation system is still visible, along with the public swimming pools, the black rock based stepped structure, which is almost intact, and the hidden chamber underground for secret meetings...the foundations of the darbar and other structures can be seen.

Reviewed By Sathya S - Mumbai, India
Beautifully landscaped, spotlessly clean the scent of flowers and the sound of water that flows channelled through the space make this a magical retreat.
The museum is a good introduction to Hampi. An extensive range of photographs capture details one might miss on visiting the site. The interactive museum space is a great attraction too.
Walk through the lawns, explore the shop with its selection of artefacts and saris, or wander through the theatre spaces and restaurant to get a feel of how space can be transformed into communication. For Kaladham speaks. Of the many way in which art can be applied to transform living spaces into havens of peace.

Reviewed By Kembhootha - Bangalore
This is a 1200 year old temple about 10 Kms from Sandur Town. The temple is dedicated to Lord Subramanya. There is also a shrine dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The temple is supposed to have been built by the Chalukya kings and received subsequent patronage from the Rashtrakutas and other dynasties.
Winding roads ( cement roads in good conditions ) past the mines of Sandur Taluk take you to this really ancient temple. About 30 minutes travel time is required from Sandur town. References to this place ( Lohadri, Lohachala ) abound in ancient Indian Mythology.
Located amidst the Swamimalai range, part of the verdant hills of Sandur, the place is really serene and has a calming effect on the visitors.
The place is associated with the "Krauncha Dharana" episode - the Krauncha bird can be seen on the left hand of Subramanya idol in the temple. The temple may offer basic accommodation and food upon prior information / request.
The entrance of the sanctum is decorated with Soapstone(?) engravings. The outer prakaram is somewhat small, but has a lot of flower-bearing plants.
There are a number of Theerthas( Bheema Theertha, Bhairava Theertha ) and other hills ( Vibhooti Gudda ) etc, which you can explore upon more information from the local priests.
Kumaraswamy temple opens around 6/6.30 AM and is open till around 8 PM at night. Poojas/Darshan may close down for a bit around noon ( 12 - 130 PM ), but the premises would still be open and that itself is worth a visit.
Buses ply from Sandur to Devagiri via this temple, but may be infrequent. Auto/MotorBikes/Cars are preferred mode of transport.
