I am thrill and surprise that 400 years back there was so much Science and knowledge available on Stone carving, design thought symmetry, architectural view and out of world Music Pillar (unfortunately it now closed for visitor) To see detail carving on Stone Chariot itself will take some time. I strongly wish they should start every hour demonstration program (Strictly security guided) with tickets. As other Hampi temples this one big temple but many sculpture are destroyed and so pooja / archana happen at this place. Area is so specious and well maintain by archelogy department. Kudos. They have kept Battery operated vehicle from entrance to temple which is also good. One suggestion for such place guide is must and Charges for guide should be formally displayed at ticket entrance. Or Now Audio Guide facility should be available. Toilets & Washroom needed for Visitor which is missing.

The Balakrishna Temple is one of the best temples of the Hampi archeological complex. As soon as you enter the temple grounds, the tower just strikes you as an impressive work of art with numerous carvings depicting the many incarnations of Vishnu. The interiors of the temple also has a series of very striking colonnades where many of the columns are richly decorated too. It’s a pity there is restoration work ongoing at this temple, but it’s still worth it for what you can see.
