📜 Divine History & Legend
Historically celebrated during the reign of the Vijayanagara Emperors (especially Sri Krishnadevaraya), this festival celebrates the glory of South India's greatest empire. The Virupaksha Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is one of the few structures that survived the destruction of Hampi, and remains active. The Jatra is held to invoke the divine blessings of Lord Virupaksha and commemorate the rise of the empire as the protector of Sanatana Dharma.
