Vijayanagar Sculptures, Indian Sculptures
Vijayanagar Sculptures originated from a mixed style of several architectures that form the backbone of South Indian .

Vijayanagar sculptures are widely visible in the temples, monuments and palaces that were built during the Vijayanagar Empire. Some of the temples from this dynasty are considered perfect examples of Hindu temple architecture. The idiom followed by the Vijayanagar kings was an assimilated one. This style combined the Chalukya, Chola, Pandya and Hoysala architectural modes.

Sculpture of Veera Bhadra Temple In fact this is quite evident from the features of Vijayanagar sculptures. Although the architecture and sculpture of Hazari Ram Temple is considered almost perfect, there are certainly other temples that mirror the artistic brilliance of the age. One such fine example is apparent from the architectural plan and sculpture of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple (Srirangam).

Besides the temples the wonder of Vijayanagar sculptures are embedded in Hampi. The rock sculptures here are truly spellbinding. Monolithic rocks have been cut to give shape to several structures.





The other Vijayanagar sculptures comprise the following:
Sculpture of Chennakesava Temple, Belur Sculpture of Kalahasti Temple Sculpture of Hazari Ram Temple Sculpture of Stone Chariots
Sculptures of Temples at Srisailam Sculpture of Hampi Sculpture of House of Victory Sculpture of Vijayanagar Palaces
Sculpture of Veera Bhadra Temple Sculpture of Vithala Temple Sculpture of King`s Balance
