Mahanavmi Dibba
This is the tallest structure in this area from a distance this looks like an ordinary elevated square stage. The whole structure is made as a giant square structure in three layers.on the top there is nothing special to see except the great views on the campus around it. At the back of the platform a twin staircase is located . probably used during the ceremonies king Krishnadevraya constructed this in victory over vdaygiri. The king used this platform to watch the army march- pasts, war games, aquatic sports,shows royal animals and also most important Navratri celebration.
Lakshmi Narasimha
The Lakshmi Narasimha statue and the temple housing the statue were built in the year 1528 A.D. it was constructed during the rule of Krishnadevraya , one of the greatest rulers of the Vijayanagara Empire. the temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha. The original sculpture had a small figure of goddess Lakshmi , consort of Narasimha, sitting on his lap. The limbs of Narasimha was broken during attack.
