Varaha Temple is located at the northern end of the Courtesans' Street, close to the riverside. The Varaha Temple is dedicated to Varaha Swamy, one of the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu In his 3rd incarnation Lord Vishnu takes the form of Varaha (the mythical boar) to save the earth from a demon called Hiranyaksha who took it to the bottom of the mythic ocean. The rectangular temple complex has a huge entrance tower which is damaged to a large extent The royal emblem of the Vijayanagar kings featuring the Varaha (boar), Sun, Moon, Dragger can be seen engraved on the walls
Another well built temple just opposite to puskarini and achutaraya Temple, beside the Banks of Tungabhadra. ASI is keeping these places clean and some handfuls of stoney sitting arrangements are really helpful while getting tired. There's is also a little compound inside and one can see Varaha (wild hog, an avatar of Lord Vishnu) carvings on to the gates. The structures are similar and feels almost same with any other kind of temples found here in Hampi.
Varaha temple is close to Achyutaya temple. It's situated in Hampi. This temple is small but very worth to visit at once. Very close to river. Temple is dedicated to Varaha Swamy. It opens all the days. You can visit from November to March as the weather will be very pleasant and nice. Don't go during summers as weather will be very hot and humid.
This is another temple built for Varaha Swamy. Unfortunately the main idol of the deity is plundered by Muslim invasion. This is one temple with just a prakaram sand in elevated pedestal like hoysalas style
This temple Vara means Vishnu avatar or Shiva temple some confusion, It almost distroyed temple.. if have time then you can visit this place..
Just opposite the grand Achyutaraya temple is this temple dedicated to the Vishnu avatar of Varaha. The temple is completely in ruins and only the structure remains. Worth a visit if one is covering the temples along the bank of river Tungabhadra.
Gets its name from the varaha inscribed on the gate to the temple. Not much to see since the structure is in complete ruins...
